I am an intermediate react developer.
I was running my react native app peacefully without any problems untill one morning, i did not change anything in my codebase but when i tried to run the app through expo client, it started showing the error in the screenshot.
I have checked and checked this platform, and not a single solution.
I am currently using expo sdk 43 (managed workflow) please help...this is my first time posting here.
This is the error below;
Can't find variable: require
http://127.0.0.1:19000/node_modules/expo/AppEntry.bundle?platform=android&dev=true&hot=false&minify=false:5:24.globalcode#http://127.0.0.1:19000/node_modules /expo/AppEntry.bundle?platform=android&dev=true& hot=false&minify=false:720:3.
Click here for the screenshot of the error
I got it fixed.
See what i did,
I created a fresh expo project using "expo init"
Then copied all my files into the new project "except node_modules and .expo folders".
Then i ran "npm install"
Viola!!! Everything works fine now
Note: i tried removing "node_modules" before over and over again and it dint work.
The only thing that worked was starting a new project and following the above steps.

I've created a development build of an Expo app using EAS. Previously I would open the app in Expo Go by running npx expo start and scanning the Metro Bundler QR code.
Now, when I try to do the same thing, Expo Go asks whether I want to open the project in Expo Go or as a "Development Build". It works fine in Expo Go, but crashes immediately when I attempt to open the dev build. The error reads:
null is not an object (evaluating '_ReanimatedModule.default.createNode')
This error is suspiciously similar to one that I encountered earlier in development, which I resolved by downgrading to React Native version 0.69.6. I'm also encountering a second error that says "'main' has not been registered", but I suspect this is downstream of the first error.
I have the same issue when I try to run the app with npx expo start --dev-client.
Any ideas why I might be having this problem?
It sounds like you may have run expo prebuild (https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/prebuild/) which removes "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js", from app.json. Try to create a new expo app and look at it's app.json file.
When you run expo prebuild it changes a few things with your project (see "side effects" in the prebuild docs).
I'm actually working through some issues with that right now too. I thought I had to run prebuild but turns out I didn't have to. Ever since I ran it my app will not load via the dev-client way. I can however switch back to npx expo start (NOT npx expo start --dev-client, see the scripts section of app.json as that is also changed when prebuild is run).
Let me know if you are able to get your app to load after re-adding the main stuff to app.json.
Ps, are you by chance using react-native-google-mobile-ads?
I am fairly new to React Native. I am building a basic app using expo-cli. I don't have a deep understanding on how it works, but I've been following tutorials online on how to use it. Today, I was working on it and used 'npm start' command to launch the expo portal so I could demo my app on a virtual machine but it says it can no longer find the link to the .json file. Can someone please help me to get it working again.
Looks like you're one directory up? Try cd WhatsUp and then run npm start again.
I was going through a react-native tutorial and got a suggestion to check RNTester
I followed the steps of cloning and installing mentioned on github. But when I hit the run button on Xcode I get following error:
error Unable to find React Native files. Make sure "react-native"
module is installed in your project dependencies. Process terminated.
Press to close the window
The simulator is also launched with bunch of method names.
Any help is appreciated.
I'm learning React Native and trying to add a component to an Expo Snack for testing. I can't even get the example app to work though.
Is it something different about how Snacks work vs. a desktop development environment? I've encountered that type of difference using JSFiddle, for example.
I straight copy-pasted the code from the Github repo into snack.expo.io and it gave me an error:
Device: (946:881) Unable to resolve module 'module://expo-font.js'
Evaluating module://expo-font.js
Evaluating module://react-native-numeric-input.js
Evaluating module://App.js
Loading module://App.js
I've gotten this error before, but I've never been able to figure out why. Is it an issue with the package, which was updated just 7 days ago, or something else? Please advise.
It may be due to missing of node modules in your project compared to the Github project. As the Stack.expo browser won't give us full freedom to install custom modules, I suggest you to download VS Code and open the Github project in it, then do "npm install" from cmd and "react-native run-android/ios".
I am trying to run react-native on an Iphone simulator via "react-native run-ios" following the getting started guide (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html)
on react-native's official website, everything seems fine and the new terminal pops up saying "loading dependency graph, done.". The app starts taking a long time to load then it says "No bundle URL present".
This is not unique for this getting started project. I have tried to clone other react native projects having the same result
What can cause this to fail on both the getting started projects as well as other projects?
I solved this issue by deleting the build:
1. YOUR_PROJECT/ios/build/,
then I ran the project again by changing the port:
2. react-native run-ios --port 8080
