• Expected behavior (on iOS 17.5)

• Issue (on iOS 18.2)

Thanks for the report, can you test if it works fine on the old arch?

[mwmcode]

Just tried. Same result :\

• "newArchEnabled": false, in app.json
• expo prebuild --clean
• ... build and load onto iOS 18.2 emulator

result 👇 (could it be related to react-native-safe-area-context since it's going out of safe area view when this is happening?)

[KiwiKilian]

Hard to tell what's causring this. Are there any similar reports on the Expo repository regardin expo-web-browser?

[mwmcode]

The only potentially related issue I could see is this one re expo-web-browser not surfacing errors :\
