- The update screen, its modal and the restart hook read the status through useAppVersionSupport() instead of repeating its store subscription. - isRecord is shared between the version support files. - The version comparison returns whether the app meets its minimum, the one thing callers check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
<ClerkProvider> creates its Clerk instance while it renders, and that resets the app version store. Notifying subscribers synchronously updated other components mid-render once a minimum had been published, so React warned on every restart after a block lifted. The store still updates immediately, so components that render afterwards read the new status; subscribers are told on a microtask. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bridge turned the native SDKs' update screens off unconditionally.
An app on an older @clerk/expo, which has no update screen, or without
expo-application, which @clerk/expo needs to identify the app, then
showed none while native requests were rejected.
The native screen now stays on by default. @clerk/expo turns it off
through a new optional setUpdateRequiredViewEnabled bridge method, called
before configureNative, when it shows its own screen or the app sets
updateRequiredViewEnabled={false}. configureNative keeps its signature,
and @clerk/expo skips the call on native components without the method.
The setting applies when native Clerk is configured.

…figures Passing the computed setting as a useMemo dependency recreated the native client sync object whenever the prop changed, dropping its state for nothing: the native SDKs only read the option when they're configured.

A rejection that left out the minimum or update URL took them from the environment once, so a refreshed environment never changed them and the update screen could keep an old store link.

Description
Important
Do not merge yet. This waits for the clerk-ios release with clerk/clerk-ios#742 and the clerk-android release with clerk/clerk-android#1160. Before merging, set
clerk_ios_versioninClerkExpo.podspecandclerkAndroidApiVersion/clerkAndroidUiVersioninandroid/build.gradleto those releases, in place of the automatic Expo iOS SDK bump PR, which can then be closed.Native app force update lets an instance set a minimum version for each of its apps in the Clerk Dashboard. FAPI rejects requests from an older build with a 403
unsupported_app_versionuntil the user updates. This PR is the Expo side. The backend is in clerk/clerk_go#23226, the edge check in clerk/cloudflare-workers#3048, the Dashboard in clerk/dashboard#10502, iOS in clerk/clerk-ios#742 and Android in clerk/clerk-android#1160.Requests
expo-application, a new optional peer:X-Bundle-IdandX-App-Version(CFBundleShortVersionString).X-Package-NameandX-App-Version(versionCode).expo-application, in Expo Go, and on the web, requests carry no identity, so FAPI never blocks them.expo-applicationis missing.Status
useAppVersionSupport()returnsisSupported,currentVersion,minimumVersionandupdateUrl. It reads the responses@clerk/expoalready sees in its request hooks, so clerk-js doesn't change. It follows the same rules as the native SDKs:unsupported_app_versionblocks the app, falling back to the environment's minimum and update URL for anything its meta leaves out.X-Clerk-App-Version-Status: supportedheader lifts a block.beforeRequest, and an answer to an older request that arrives late is ignored, as are answers for a replaced Clerk instance.isUnauthenticatedErroronly matches 401, 422, and 403 withuser_bannedoruser_deactivated.Lifting a block
supportedheader lifts the block. Token responses minted at the edge carry noX-Clerk-App-Version-Status, so they can't.errorstate. When the block lifts,<ClerkProvider>discards that instance and creates a new one, which loads normally and restores the signed-in session from the token cache. An app whose clerk-js had loaded keeps its instance.Screen
<ClerkProvider>shows an update screen in a modal over the app while it's unsupported. It shows even when clerk-js fails to load, which happens because a blocked app's client request is rejected. Android's Back button can't dismiss it.updateRequiredViewEnabled={false}turns it off, for apps that build their own screen from the hook. The screen's component is internal, so@clerk/expoexports only the hook and the prop.Native SDK screens (
@clerk/expo-native-components)@clerk/expoturns them off through a new optional bridge method,setUpdateRequiredViewEnabled, which it calls just beforeconfigureNative(iOSupdateRequiredViewEnabled: false, AndroidwithUpdateRequiredViewDisabled()):expo-applicationto identify the app, or when the app setsupdateRequiredViewEnabled={false}. Otherwise the native screen would show over this one, and the prop wouldn't turn it off.expo-application,@clerk/expocan't identify the app and shows nothing, while native requests still identify it and get the 403. The native screen stays on there.@clerk/expo, which has no update screen, never calls the method, so the native screen stays on.@clerk/exposkips the call on native components without the method, andconfigureNativekeeps its signature.configureNativeconfigures it, so it's in place from launch. A later change to the prop applies the next time native Clerk is configured: the next launch, or a new publishable key or proxy URL.9c158914) instead of a release.1.2.1, which doesn't havewithUpdateRequiredViewDisabled(), so the Android native build fails here (Unresolved reference 'withUpdateRequiredViewDisabled').8df2c843) published to Maven Local. The iOS native builds here run against feat: show an update screen when the app is below its minimum version clerk-ios#742's commit.Known gaps
The screen is English only, because
@clerk/expohas no localization. The native screens have 15 languages.Without a Dashboard logo, the screen shows none, because React Native can't read the app icon without native code.
If a global Clerk instance from
getClerkInstance()is held outside React, it is still the discarded instance after a restart (see Lifting a block), so it stays in itserrorstate until the app readsgetClerkInstance()again.Screen recordings
Recorded on the iOS simulator (iPhone 17 Pro, Release build) against a local backend running clerk/clerk_go#23226, clerk/cloudflare-workers#3048 and clerk/dashboard#10502. The app is a minimal Expo SDK 55 app (version 1.0.0) that signs in a
+clerk_testuser throughsignIn.emailCode. "Before" is@clerk/expo@4.14.0from npm; "after" is this branch, packed. In both, the app's minimum is raised to 2.0 in the Dashboard.@clerk/expo@4.14.0)expo-ios-before.mov

Blocked cold start, then the block lifts (this PR)

The Android emulator recording is still to come.
Simulator verification
Adds a launch recording at the current head (
43eb2fd7f5), with the update screen's new wording ("Please update to continue", without the account-security reason). Before, the app opens to its signed-out screen; after, the update screen covers it as soon as the launch finishes, with the version comparison and Go to App Store.Before
c4fcf43deb(the PR's base; its@clerk/exposource is identical to the published 4.14.0, which the build uses), after43eb2fd7f5(this PR, through pkglab). Both are Release builds of the Expo playground (com.clerk.testing, version 1.0.0) on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator, iOS 26.5, in dark mode. Mocked backend: clerk/clerk_go#23226 isn't deployed, so both builds passproxyUrlto<ClerkProvider>pointing at a local mock in front of the real dev instance. It serves the instance's real environment with an iOS minimum of 2.0 forcom.clerk.testing, answers requests that identify as that bundle ID below 2.0 with the backend's 403unsupported_app_version, and forwards everything else to the real instance. The base sends no identity headers, so all of its requests were forwarded. Both builds also patch one line ofexpo-modules-jsi56.0.10 that Xcode 27's Swift compiler rejects; it doesn't touch Clerk. The instance has no logo or support email.Before
