React Native @clerk/clerk-expo is not working as expected about javascript

[shifenis]

Get the same error and to fix it I added different packages, but then I get:

Error: Not a valid base64 encoded string length

This error is located at:
    in ClerkProvider (created by RootLayoutNav)
   ...

Probably Expo 51 isn't supported yet for Clerk (?)

If you're getting Error: Not a valid base64 encoded string length, it seems to be related to Expo v51. The Clerk team is aware of it and working on a fix. Current discussion is on Discord here: https://discord.com/channels/856971667393609759/1234973673946087534

@statico I am not able to see this discussion, does it still exist?

Potentially resolved by #3326, which removes expo-application as a peer dependency.

Right after upgrading the Expo from 50 to 51
I'm receiving the same error Error: Not a valid base64 encoded string length

No code changes besides following Expo steps to upgrade that is, installing latest and install --fix

Any updates on this? I would really like to be able to use my app again with sdk 51

run: npm install @clerk/clerk-expo@latest
its fixed now

Just keep installing the packages. Seems like the @clerk/clerk-expo package doesn't declare all the native expo packages needed. Every time you see the error, run npx expo install expo-application (or expo-xxxx), rebuild and repeat until errors disappear

[statico]

Possibly related, but no idea: expo/expo#26570 (comment)

[csulit]

Any update here?

@vflorrez1 @leo-mangold You have to be a member of the Clerk Discord to see it. There doesn't appear to be a fixed invite URL (thanks, Discord) but Googling found me this: https://discord.com/invite/b5rXHjAg7A

There's a PR in progress: #3354
