expo: expo-updates crash on bare workflow

🐛 Bug Report

Environment

Expo 37, expo-updates 0.2.5. Android Q.

Steps to Reproduce

I have a bare react native app, ejected from expo some time ago. I have added expo-updates following the instructions.

Everything works ok when I run react-native run-android --variant=release, the app works properly.

Then I do expo publish to create a new update.

When the app start, it just crashes and get closed. From adb logcat:

Expected Behavior

I expect the app to update its bundle without problems. I don’t know why the app in its variant release needs the expo cli to work, it seems not to need it if I do react-native run-android --variant=release.

I’m using this other packages from expo:

    "expo": "^37.0.0",
    "expo-asset": "^8.1.5",
    "expo-constants": "~9.0.0",
    "expo-task-manager": "~8.1.0",
    "expo-updates": "^0.2.5",

Actual Behavior

The app can’t be used anymore. Need to uninstall and move it to the phone using react-native cli again.
