chore: expo 54 upgrade #1671

cimigree · 2026-01-28T20:26:32Z

closes #1647
closes #1497

Upgrades to Expo 54, the last Expo upgrade that does not force the new architecture.

The biggest differences are related to

using edge to edge on Android, so I had to add some safe area insets to make sure the screen was below the status bar using 'react-native-safe-area-context' (SafeAreaView from react-native is deprecated) and adjust some of the views that involve keyboards -- the password setting screens and the observation create screen. That is why the height component of the keyboard listener. I mostly needed it with Observations and the actions row.

The navigation bar is now colored medium grey, which matches what it used to be and is more noticeable and useful on my Samsung (that has a navigation bar) than the Pixel 8 in most of the photos.

I also had to adjust the status bar content color depending on if the screen was dark or light. For the default, since our app has mostly a white background, I used the dark content. For some others with dark backgrounds (see photos) I used light content. For the Camera screen, I had to use the StatusBar since the options couldn't be set in the tabs.

the expo/file-system being deprecated, so we have to use a legacy version, which we can do at least through Expo 55.

Small Changes

Some other small changes were necessary, like upgrading the node version locally, but it was actually correct in our .nvmrc file
I adjusted some of the tests to try to be less flakey by using different categories -- ones that are more centrally located on the first screen.
I used a useEffect in input passcode because I was getting warnings there from the react compiler
I changed the key in the keyboard accessory because using index is not recommended

…tus bar to start using edge to edge

Also Upgraded to Node 24
Updated the .nvmrc
I also had to update the build-translations.mjs file because In Node 24, the path property was removed from Dirent objects. This means file.path now returns undefined, which causes errors when trying to use it with path.join().
