[SDK51][Dev Client] Development client on android fails to open eas update from updates list with "Failed to open app"

[romanonthego]

More information: it appears that expo server is responding with 406 status code for https://u.expo.dev/update/:uuid

this is the request from the android network inspector:

curl 'https://u.expo.dev/update/:update_id:' \
  -H 'accept: application/expo+json,application/json' \
  -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' \
  -H 'connection: Keep-Alive' \
  -H 'expo-dev-client-id: :client_id:' \
  -H 'expo-platform: android' \
  -H 'host: u.expo.dev' \
  -H 'user-agent: okhttp/4.11.0' \
  --compressed

> EAS Update clients must accept "multipart/mixed" responses

adding multipart/mixed fixes the issue with the request:

curl 'https://u.expo.dev/update/:update_id:' \
  -H 'accept: application/expo+json,application/json,multipart/mixed' \
  -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' \
  -H 'connection: Keep-Alive' \
  -H 'expo-dev-client-id: :client_id:' \
  -H 'expo-platform: android' \
  -H 'host: u.expo.dev' \
  -H 'user-agent: okhttp/4.11.0' \
  --compressed

btw, I have tried to apply patch to the expo-dev-launcher

diff --git a/node_modules/expo-dev-launcher/android/src/main/java/expo/modules/devlauncher/launcher/manifest/DevLauncherManifestParser.kt b/node_modules/expo-dev-launcher/android/src/main/java/expo/modules/devlauncher/launcher/manifest/DevLauncherManifestParser.kt

     )
     if (installationID != null) {
       headersMap["expo-dev-client-id"] = installationID

which in turn lead to another error:

My current theory is that during upgrade to SDK51 we somehow have not properly updated some internal dependencies of expo-dev-launcher? Any tips would help at this point :)
