I think I face the same issue. If add the https://www.better-auth.com/docs/integrations/expo#configure-metro-bundler line, the app stuck at "Downloading 100%", if I remove that metro.config.js file, this red screen happens.

@trevor-e commented on GitHub (Mar 20, 2025):

AFAICT this might be an issue with Metro/Expo? As soon as I enable config.resolver.unstable_enablePackageExports = true; in my project it starts to misbehave and gets stuck on the splash screen with no logs.

The package.json exports in the @better-auth/expo package look correct to me:

  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
      "import": "./dist/index.mjs",
      "require": "./dist/index.cjs"
    },
    "./client": {
      "types": "./dist/client.d.ts",
      "import": "./dist/client.mjs",
      "require": "./dist/client.cjs"
    }
  },

I read through the Metro docs for this feature and nothing in particular stood out.

Try adding this setting config.resolver.unstable_conditionNames = [ "react-native", "import", "require", "browser", "types", ];; immediately after the config.resolver.unstable_enablePackageExports = true;. See if that fixes the issue

Has anyone tried using babel-plugin-module-resolver? It works fine for me.

@hyoban are you trying in a freshly created project? The babel-plugin-module-resolver isn't working for me. First it complains about caching not being enabled. After enabling caching it complains about JSX not being recognized. After adding presets: ['@babel/preset-react'] to my Babel config it starts throwing random errors like this:

iOS Bundling failed 3099ms node_modules/expo-router/entry.js (907 modules)
 ERROR  SyntaxError: /Users/telkins/dev/telkins/my-proj/app-expo/node_modules/@expo/metro-runtime/src/async-require/buildAsyncRequire.ts: Missing semicolon. (14:4)

🤯

A minimal usable configuration is as follows

module.exports = function (api) {
  api.cache(true);
  return {
    presets: ["babel-preset-expo"],
    plugins: [
      [
        "module-resolver",
        {
          alias: {
            "better-auth/react":
              "./node_modules/better-auth/dist/client/react/index.cjs",
            "better-auth/client/plugins":
              "./node_modules/better-auth/dist/client/plugins/index.cjs",
            "@better-auth/expo/client":
              "./node_modules/@better-auth/expo/dist/client.cjs",
          },
        },
      ],
    ],
  };
};

This worked, thanks so much @hyoban! Sorry didn't realize there is an Expo preset I was supposed to use.
