Summary

Fixes Android boot-related manifest behavior to avoid Android 15 startup crashes caused by dependency-provided boot receivers.

What changed

  • Added a new Android manifest plugin, withRestrictedBootReceivers, and registered it in the Expo config.
  • The plugin replaces the app’s merged task manager and notifications receivers so they no longer listen for boot-completed style broadcasts.
  • It preserves the receiver registrations needed for normal app behavior, including:
    • explicit task manager intents
    • notification event handling
    • package-replaced handling
  • Blocked the android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission from the Android manifest since the app no longer uses boot receivers.

Why

Android 15 restricts apps from starting certain foreground services from BOOT_COMPLETED receivers, which can cause app crashes during device boot. The app’s merged native manifests were bringing in boot receivers from dependencies, so this change removes those boot triggers while keeping the non-boot receiver behavior required for tasks and push notifications.

Validation

  • Added tests to verify:
    • boot-related intent actions are removed from the affected receivers
    • required non-boot actions remain in place
    • the manifest replacement is applied correctly and is safe across repeated prebuilds
    • the blocked boot permission and plugin registration are present in app config

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an Expo Android config plugin that replaces restricted boot receivers, preserves required receiver actions, declares the tools namespace, blocks RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, and validates registration and transformation behavior.

Changes

Android boot receiver restrictions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Receiver override definitions
plugins/withRestrictedBootReceivers.js
Defines replacement metadata for task-manager and notification receivers. Builds receiver nodes with preserved intent filters and tools:node="replace".
Manifest receiver transformation
plugins/withRestrictedBootReceivers.js
Ensures the tools namespace exists. Replaces matching receivers or appends missing receivers to the Android manifest.
Plugin wiring and validation
app.config.ts, plugins/withRestrictedBootReceivers.js, plugins/__tests__/android-boot-receivers.test.ts
Registers the plugin after customManifest.plugin.js, blocks RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, exports the transformation helpers, and tests replacement, preservation, idempotence, configuration, and registration.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f3196

The change is merge-ready after normal checks; only a minor import-ordering cleanup remains, with no merge-blocking behavior risk.

Place the type-only import after runtime imports.

Move ConfigContext after createExpoConfig. As per coding guidelines, order imports as side effects, external packages, internal aliases, relative imports, then type imports.
