Entry file error in react native from packager

Question

I'm trying to run a react-native project, which works fine on other people's machines, but I'm getting the following error. I've tried doing the following:

• Clean install of node, npm
• rerunning npm install and rnpm link

it seems like the path string is being changed to "global code@http://localhost:8081/index.ios.js", but they look fine in the config files.

Looking for JS files in

Answer 1

Figured out that after updating to RN 0.28 my app is spitting this issue due to incompatible dependencies. This is how I solved this problem

rm -rf node_modules npm cache clean

Then open package.json except react-native change all package versions to *

Then run npm update --save npm update --save-dev

Check package if package.json is updated with version numbers, if not verify from npmjs and update manually

Delete app from the device and try to run again
