Hello Daniel,

Sorry but I don't quite get you. What do you mean by : over ; ?

Please see the screen shot, the configuration.js (ignore my name in the screen) used Colons instead of Semicolons. Hope that helps.

That is a correct JSON syntax Daniel. It should be : instead of ;

You can feed this into https://jsonlint.com/ if you want to beautify it.

Understood that Colons are used for JSON, however this is a JS file and the Expo builder errors using Colons, I changed it to Semicolons and it compiled.

JSON is a valid javascript string and the js file is just an extension, it would not cause any errors. What errors do you get from Expo?

I'm going from memory... but something like. Error: File configuration.js Line (1,6) expected ';'

The routine would stop.

Hm, it shouldn't because it is a correct syntax and all our builds uses the same format too. Anyway if you encounter this again, perhaps if you can send us the configuration.js

Did a fresh download and macOS install. Followed all of the steps and ran expo build:ios here is the error:

Packager URL http://127.0.0.1:19001/node_modules/expo/AppEntry.bundle?dev=false&minify=true&hot=false&platform=ios returned unexpected code 500. Please open your project in the Expo app and see if there are any errors. Also scroll up and make sure there were no errors or warnings when opening your project.

Hello Daniel,

Okay, it looks like the problem was a missing prefix of "export default" . I have fixed this, you need to download the source again.

By the way, by changing the : to ; the app would fail as it wouldn't be able to get the property of the url.

That makes sense, since I have just tried to post my .api to apple, and it was not happy. I'm really hoping to have the Professional account soon.

Yep, once you download the source again, it will be fine.
