Expo CLI Version Mismatch Bug

This repository demonstrates a common error encountered when using the Expo CLI: version mismatches between the CLI itself and the project dependencies.

Problem Description

The expo start command fails due to conflicts between the Expo CLI version and the versions of packages listed in package.json. This can result in various error messages, often related to missing modules or incompatible versions.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Attempt to run expo start.
  3. Observe the error message indicating a version mismatch.

Solution

The solution involves ensuring compatibility between the Expo CLI version and your project's dependencies. This typically involves:

  • Updating Expo CLI: Run npm install -g expo-cli@latest (or the equivalent for yarn) to update to the latest version.
  • Updating project dependencies: Check your package.json and ensure that the versions of packages are compatible with your Expo CLI version (or update them as needed).
  • Cleaning the cache: Sometimes, cached data can interfere. Try expo prebuild or deleting the node_modules folder and reinstalling dependencies (npm install or yarn).
