Hi, I was wondering if you figured out the issue. I have tried with both the empty and the tab navigator project builds and get the same error.

Hello, I guess I am facing the same problem, except the message is:

Cannot find entry file main.js in any of the roots: ...

I followed the steps on the docs https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/register-root-component.html

My package.json is:

{
"name": "open-wallet-app",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "iOS app to consume the Open Wallet API",
"author": "Willian Haas",
"private": true,
"main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/haaswill/open-wallet-app.git"
},

"expo": "^19.0.0",
"numeral": "^2.0.6",
"prop-types": "^15.5.10",
"react": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-19.0.0.tar.gz",

"redux-persist": "^4.8.0",
"redux-thunk": "^2.2.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"eslint-config-rallycoding": "^3.2.0"
}
}

My App.js is:

import React from 'react';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import store from './config/store';
import AppWithNavigationState from './navigators/AppNavigator';

export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Provider store={store}>
<AppWithNavigationState />
</Provider>
);
}
}

Running on macOS Sierra 10.12.5
Expo Client: 1.18.2
Expo XDE 2.19.3
Node Version: 8.1.4
Watchman: 4.7.0

In case it helps anybody in the future, I got this issue when I renamed my project directory (from camelcase to lowercase) on Mac and didn’t re-open the project in Expo XDE with the new case.

Yep - Closing an re-opening the project seemed to do the trick in my case also. Thanks!
