Due to the current Apple TestFlight outage (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/101400), we are currently unable to confirm our fix. We will deploy it as soon as we can do so.

Identified

Many users are reporting that their Expo binaries are failing to process in iTunes Connect because of a missing NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription key. We suspect this is due to a recent change in the way Apple analyzes binaries. We are working to fix our binaries such that they no longer depend on this key.
