Can you programmatically reload an expo app?

I have to re-initialize a data structure in my expo managed app (SDK 49) so i need to reload the app. Everything works in development (IOS dev build) , i hit a button and the app reloads. But in production, nothing happens. Is there anything i need to do differently in production I’m only using this function to manually reload the app not to deliver any updates just yet. Updates.reloadAsync() from expo-updates i keep getting code ERR_FUNCTION_CALL in production, my code:

setTimeout(() => {

          (async () => {
            if (__DEV__) {
              DevSettings.reload()
              return
            }
            try {
              const res = await Updates.reloadAsync()
              console.log('res',res)
              Alert.alert('res',JSON.stringify(res))
            } catch (error) {
              Alert.alert('error',JSON.stringify(error))
            }
          })();

        },100);

setTimeout(() => {

          (async () => {
            if (__DEV__) {
              DevSettings.reload()
              return
            }
            try {
              const res = await Updates.reloadAsync()
              console.log('res',res)
              Alert.alert('res',JSON.stringify(res))
            } catch (error) {
              Alert.alert('error',JSON.stringify(error))
            }
          })();

        },100);
