Having issue with app.json after upgrading expo app in android?

I am having an error after creating new project on windows 10. I have just upgraded my expo app on my phone and now I am getting an error in terminal:

Error: Problem validating fields in app.json. See Configuration with app.json / app.config.js - Expo Documentation
• should NOT have additional property ‘nodeModulesPath’.

Cannot know what really happened. Help please!

2

Done. I have upgraded expo-cli and error is gone!

I did that and I’m still getting this error. Anyone knows what to do to fix this problem ?

What does expo diagnostics give you?

My CI had an old version of expo cli and wasn’t updating … this was my root cause. Same error.

Hi there,

Run this command : yarn global add expo-cli.

For NPM, running below fixed for me:

npm install -g expo-cli

10

npm install -g expo-cli also solved the problem for me, for some weird reason yarn global add expo-cli did not work.

11

This did not work for me. Does anyone know another solution?

12

What OS are you on?

What does the following give you?

expo diagnostics

Also these:

npm list -g
yarn global list

Couldn’t publish because errors were found. (See logs above.) Please fix the errors and try again.

here my app.json

What is that 3940256099942544~1458002511 in the app.json that you posted? That definitely should not be there.

Also, what does expo --version give you?

15

I found the solution
you have to go back to sdkVersion: 40.0.0,
which means

expo update 40.0.0

16

sorry just an error in keyboard

17

That is not a good solution.

Make sure that expo --version shows something recent. e.g. mine says:

$ expo --version
4.8.1

I had a same issue but updated expo to 4.9.0 and solved it today.
npm_expo-cli@4.9.0
