Expo EAS

[craigmulligan]

Has anyone had a go at packaging this with expo's new EAS build system? I'm planning on working on it but checking if anyone has got it working before.

As far as I can tell it requires writing a expo plugin that writes the manifest files for each platform at build time. You can see an example of bluetooth here: https://github.com/expo/config-plugins/tree/main/packages/react-native-ble-plx

did you manage to get it done?

[craigmulligan]

I haven't yet. But I do still plan on working on it. Will update that issue when I get around to it.

Any updates @craigmulligan? I await your feedback with baited breath :S

[craigmulligan]

Just a small update, I had a quick look and it appears the nmapbox packages plugin does everything we need for android, so just installing it along with this package works fine, the problem now is that react-native-mapbox-navigation uses and older version of gradle than the expo build system so it's failing to build because of deprecations in gradle 7 so trying to figure that out atm.

@craigmulligan i'm going through the same issue regarding old gradle version, have you managed to make it work ?

[craigmulligan]

No haven't looked at it again. I still hope to at some point.

Any updates?

Am working on a workaround. Works with native module on Android but eventually crashes when route tiles render. By not showing the route tiles it works
I will soon publish the npm package

Hey @ismael-su ! I'm trying to implement an Expo Module myself to use the latest versions of the iOS and Android Mapbox Navigation sdks (so basically skipping this library which seems unmantained), and I came across your comment.

I currently have it working in iOS but in Android it crashes as soon as the map attempts to render. Im trying to instantiate a very basic NavigationView (btw, the same code does work in a native Android project).

Can you tell me more about how you solved it if you happen to do it? and also how can I disable the tiles so I can see if at least that gets me through instantiating the view.

Thanks in advance!

@santitopo hello, just realized you mentionned me, i stopped working on the project months ago because i wasn't even able to reproduce the working build. am still waiting

I'm thinking about creating an expo-plugin. Wondering if I need to use the forked library from #116 or if this is the repo I should attempt to do it on.

Does anyone have feedback on what library they're currently using?

In case someone else is still struggling with this library, I managed to get it to work on EAS with this one: https://github.com/pawan-pk/react-native-mapbox-navigation
