watermelondb-expo-plugin-sdk-52-plus 🍉

Config plugin to auto configure @nozbe/watermelondb for Expo SDK 52 / 53!.

Install

Tested against Expo SDK 52+

npm install @lovesworking/watermelondb-expo-plugin-sdk-52-plus

# or using yarn
yarn add @lovesworking/watermelondb-expo-plugin-sdk-52-plus

Please make sure you also install expo-build-properties

After installing this npm package, add the config plugin to the plugins array of your app.json or app.config.js. Then rebuild your app using a custom development client, as described in the "Adding custom native code" guide.

You also need to add the packaging options pick-first for android.

Example

In your app.json plugins array:

{
  "plugins": [
    ["@lovesworking/watermelondb-expo-plugin-sdk-52-plus"],
    [
      "expo-build-properties",
      {
        "android": {
          "packagingOptions": {
            "pickFirst": ["**/libc++_shared.so"]
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}

JSI support for Android

This plugin installs automatically JSI support for Android builds, as per WatermelonDB for Android instructions. If you wish to disable JSI support you during build you may add the option in config plugin:

["@lovesworking/watermelondb-expo-plugin-sdk-52-plus", { "disableJsi": true }]

Build errors with M1 architectures for simulators

There have been errors building with M1 architectures for simulators on iOS, with Error:

No such module 'ExpoModulesCore'

If you wish to add the excluded architectures configuration, you can add it with option:

[
  "@lovesworking/watermelondb-expo-plugin-sdk-52-plus",
  { "excludeSimArch": true }
]

This will add:

"EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]" = "arm64"

Make sure you have simdjson listed in your expo-build-properties

 [
        'expo-build-properties',
        {
          ios: {
            extraPods: [
              {
                name: 'simdjson',
                configurations: ['Debug', 'Release'],
                path: '../node_modules/@nozbe/simdjson',
                modular_headers: true,
              },
            ],
          },
          android: {
            packagingOptions: {
              pickFirst: ['**/libc++_shared.so'],
            },
          },
        },
      ],
