Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

await Updates.reloadAsync()

@byCedric it’s very difficult issue to provide a reproducible demo for this as the Updates module is an on device module. As far as I can tell it’s also happening in that snack - I don’t see a Splash after clicking update app… It’s happening on all our production apps and for a few people on these forums (I’m sure there’s more that just aren’t noticing it). I see there is another issue mentioning it here: https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/12000

Any suggestions on how to debug / provide a reproducible demo so you can look into it? Here’s a video showing the issue, that “Restart app” button triggers this directly onPress={() => Updates.reloadAsync()}, should I perhaps be doing it differently?
