This repository demonstrates a common error encountered when using the Expo CLI: version mismatches between the CLI itself and the project dependencies.
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.
- Clone this repository.
- Attempt to run
expo start
. - Observe the error message indicating a version mismatch.
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 thenode_modules
folder and reinstalling dependencies (npm install
oryarn
).
