Same error here, running on a Win 11 machine. Works just fine on my Win 10 machine.

Did you ever figure this out? I've been banging my head against the wall attempting to debug this error.

@Sana720 Delete your Temp folder located here C:\Users{user}\AppData\Local\Temp. Then try again. Fixed it for me.

Had the same issue today, my Windows bluescreened so that must have corrupted some of my cache. After wiping the Temp folder that @natejhowe mentioned the problem went away!

npx expo install --fix fixed it for me

I had the same problem and I fixed it right now.

Instead of going into the "Temp" folder inside AppData/Local deleting the interested temp and cache files, you can do the following steps:

• delete ".expo" folder inside your react native project
• run this command npm cache clean --force to clear the global npm cache
• then run this command npx expo start --clear to restart the development server and to clear the transformation javascript/typescript/jsx/tsx files starting fresh

These commands helped me to solve the problem. Yes, you can go and clear cache files and temp files inside your PC folders inside "AppData/Local/Temp", but this approach will save you time with a direct CLI command.

I want to add more:
If you need to establish a tunnel connection to see your react native app through expo go on your smartphone do this:

• npm cache clean --force
• npx expo start --clear
• then "ctrl+c" to stop everything
• npx expo start --tunnel to restart the server in a tunnel

Or you can combine the two last commands npx expo start --clear and npx expo start --tunnel into npx expo start --clear --tunnel after doing npm cache clean --force. But npx expo start --clear --tunnel gave me errors, so do the step by step procedure dividing the two commands.

Hope it helps.

Cool so deleting the temp folder is the only working way for me these cache clean commands didn't fix my problem...
