+- [Android] Register the embedded update in a single transaction. An interrupted registration previously left an update row with no launch asset, which is treated as launchable and then fails every cold start with "Launch asset not found for update"; it now leaves no row, so the next launch registers it cleanly. ([#49130](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49130) by [@gwdp](https://github.com/gwdp))
+- [Android] Widen `UpdatesLogEntry.create`'s catch from `JSONException` to `Exception` so log-line parse failures consistently degrade to "skip the entry" instead of propagating. ([#46182](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46182) by [@jakequade-pc](https://github.com/jakequade-pc))
+- [Android] Correct `UpdatesLogReader.ONE_DAY_MILLISECONDS` from `86400` (seconds) to `86_400_000` (milliseconds), so the "older than one day" purge filter actually retains a day's worth of entries instead of ~86 seconds' worth. ([#46182](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46182) by [@jakequade-pc](https://github.com/jakequade-pc))
+- [iOS] Propagate database failures from `addNewAssets` instead of swallowing them, which let an update be marked ready without its launch asset and then fail every launch. ([#49456](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49456) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [iOS] Repair ready updates that are missing their launch asset by demoting them to pending during launcher selection, so a corrupted row is skipped and retried instead of failing every launch. ([#49457](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49457) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [Android] Skip and repair updates that are missing their launch asset instead of selecting them for launch, which previously failed every cold start with "Launch asset not found for update". ([#49470](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49470) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes), based on [#48733](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/48733) by [@martintreurnicht](https://github.com/martintreurnicht))
+- [iOS] Fix the embedded manifest recording the wrong `packagerHash` for assets that ship scale variants iOS does not allow (such as `@1.5x` and `@4x`): the hashes were read by the filtered scale index instead of the asset's own, so those images resolved to an empty URI and rendered blank in release builds. ([#48811](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/48811) by [@expo-bot](https://github.com/expo-bot))
+
+### 💡 Others

+- [Android] Replace the "this should never happen" wording in the missing launch asset error with the likely cause and how the state resolves. ([#49130](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/49130) by [@gwdp](https://github.com/gwdp))
+- [Android] Log purge completion errors via `android.util.Log.e` directly instead of `logger.error`, so the failure path doesn't re-enter the `PersistentFileLog` dispatch queue from inside one of its own tasks. ([#46182](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46182) by [@jakequade-pc](https://github.com/jakequade-pc))
