[Expo SDK 45] iOS EAS build config plugin sync failed

Summary

I’m getting the following error, when building my app for iOS via EAS, which was upgraded to SDK 45:

I followed the upgrade steps in the Docs and then just run the EAS build. Same error applies, when building locally.

Managed or bare workflow? If you have ios/ or android/ directories in your project, the answer is bare!

Reproducible demo

Since it is a build Issue, I don’t know how to build a reproducible demo.

Turns out the issue is that @expo/config-plugins@4.0.15 doensn’t support .mm AppDelegates, and in my case this version is being hoisted via the expo modules you can see in the yarn why output in my previous message.

Going to figure out and share a workaround now.

More context: below is the output from expo prebuild. The same issue is happening locally as well as in EAS at the Prebuild step.

$ expo prebuild --clean && ./scripts/post-prebuild.sh
