'Failed to download manifest from URL' error after eas build

Summary

I have this code in my app to check if any OTA update available: await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync()

When I build the app using eas build and run the app, it will notify an error in my Bugsnag saying: Failed to download manifest from URL: https://exp.host/@xxxx/xxxx

This issue does not occur when I build using expo build

Reproducible demo

1. This code is in App.js

const checkAppUpdates = async () => {
  if (!__DEV__) {
    try {
      const update = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync()
      if (update.isAvailable) {
        setIsUpdateAvailable(true)
      }
    } catch (e) {
      Bugsnag.notify(e)
    }
  }
}

useEffect(() => {
  checkAppUpdates()
}, [])

1. Run eas build -p android
2. Install and run the app as a standalone build.

I ran into the same error using Sentry. And also, after releasing a new Build it still errors out (even though I also ran “expo publish again”)

useEffect(() => {
        async function updateApp() {
            const { isAvailable } = await Updates.checkForUpdateAsync();
            if (isAvailable) {
                await Updates.fetchUpdateAsync();
                await Updates.reloadAsync();
            }
        }
        updateApp();
    }, [])
...

new error after careful app revision:

Failed to download manifest from URL: https://exp.host/@user/app/index.exp?sdkVersion=44.0.0

Same thing here. SDK 46, migrated from the traditional update which worked great but now I’m stuck with that message.
