Use official expo action for deploy previews when published

[simoneb]

Currently we're using a custom approach built in a workflow. When the official support is released, we should switch to that one

expo/expo-github-action#206

It's released :)

The generated QR code seems invalid: QR code detected no usable data found.

If I decode the old QR codes and the new one, there are some differences:

• old QR code, parsed result: exp://u.expo.dev/update/822fb168-daeb-4012-b2ca-ed78669d52c5 ✅
• new QR code, parsed result: exp+optic-expo://expo-development-client/?url=https://u.expo.dev/e3c6e759-c8c5-41a8-861e-b3e4adab619a/group/ac6df604-a218-4604-a830-d21509ce9cb6 ❌

I tested it with my iPhone with Expo Go installed.

I will park this for now, since I didn't find any solution.

@davideroffo can you please post a comment on the original issue/PR in the expo repo pointing to this PR and giving them enough information to figure out what's going on?

@simoneb I figured it out :)

by default it is building for dev-build which cannot be loaded from expo-go . Changing the qr-target to expo-go fixed the issue!

I will be submitting a PR soon, because expo-go only supports apps with expo >= 49 and we currently are at 47

I'm afraid that upgrading expo sdk is not an option for us though, too complicated

@simoneb do you want me to investigate? spend 30m - 1h or give up already?

[simoneb]

not worth it, we tried multiple times, too many breaking changes

[puskin94]

@simoneb then we should close this issue, because the fix was using the right qr-code build target, but expo-go cannot work with the current expo version

[simoneb]

Fine then 👌
