Works in Expo Go but my dev build crashes: TurboModuleRegistry could not be found

Invariant Violation: TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing(...): 'RNGoogleSignin' could not be found. Verify that a module by this name is registered in the native binary.

Happens right at startup since I added Google sign in. Weird part is before adding it everything worked in Expo Go.

What I’ve tried

npm install again, deleted node_modules, cleared metro cache with npx expo start -c.

Native modules have to be compiled into the app. Installing the npm package only adds the JS side; your dev build was made before you added it, so the native part isn't in the binary.

Rebuild the dev client after adding any package with native code:

npx expo prebuild --clean   # if you build locally
eas build --profile development -p ios

And it will never work in Expo Go, because Expo Go only contains the modules Expo ships.

Every package with native code, yes. Pure JS packages you can add without rebuilding. ben_mobile 6 days ago · edited

rebuilt the dev client, it launches now. so every native package = new build? kaito 6 days ago · edited

Also check the package's config plugin is in app.json plugins. For google-signin it needs the iosUrlScheme, otherwise the rebuild succeeds and it crashes later at the actual sign in.

If the EAS free queue is slow, eas build --profile development --platform ios --local builds on your own Mac. Needs Xcode and CocoaPods installed, but it's minutes instead of an hour in the queue.
