Description

Asana task

Asana: https://app.asana.com/1/9976422036640/project/1213880789473005/task/1215776835822945

PR #6001 ("add home screen long-press shortcuts via expo-quick-actions") builds on iOS but broke the Android build.

Root cause: expo-quick-actions@5.0.0's bundled ExpoAppIconModule.setIcon returns mixed types: null, the icon name (String?), and false (Boolean) in its catch block. Expo's inline fun <reified R> Function(...) then infers R as the intersection Comparable<...> & Serializable. Kotlin 2.3.20 (pinned in android/build.gradle for zcash-android-sdk) promotes "reified type parameter inferred to intersection type" from a warning to a hard error, so :expo-quick-actions:compileDebugKotlin fails. The package was written against an older Kotlin where this was only a warning.

Fix: extend the existing expo-quick-actions patch to unify the error-path return to null, so every branch of setIcon returns String? (a single reifiable type). Edge does not use the app-icon API (only the shortcuts API via QuickActions.setItems / useQuickActionCallback), so this is behavior-neutral for the app, and the long-press shortcuts feature is unchanged.

GitHub CI does not build Android (pr-checks.yml only blocks WIP PRs), so this regression was not caught there.

Testing

Verified locally with a full Android build (Android SDK + NDK 27.1.12297006, Kotlin 2.3.20):

• Before: ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug fails at :expo-quick-actions:compileDebugKotlin.
• After: ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug reaches BUILD SUCCESSFUL and produces app-debug.apk.

verify-repo.sh (install, prepare, jest) passes. iOS is unaffected (the iOS hunk of the patch is unchanged by this PR).

Note

Low Risk
Build-only node_modules patch with no app code changes; shortcuts behavior is unchanged because the app does not use the app-icon API.

Overview
Fixes the Android build broken after home screen long-press shortcuts (expo-quick-actions) by extending the existing patch-package patch for expo-quick-actions@5.0.0.

On Android, ExpoAppIconModule.setIcon previously returned false on error while other paths returned String? / null, which made Expo’s reified Function infer an intersection type. Kotlin 2.3 (pinned for Zcash) treats that as a compile error, so :expo-quick-actions:compileDebugKotlin failed. The patch changes the catch branch to return null, unifying the return type. Edge only uses the shortcuts API (QuickActions.setItems / useQuickActionCallback), not app-icon switching, so behavior for the app is unchanged.

Adds an Unreleased CHANGELOG entry documenting the fix.
