Error: Cannot find module 'source-map-support'

Question

Out of nowhere, my working react native app gave me this error when I opened it today. I tried npm install , yarn and cleaning the cache but nothing helped. As I said, it came out out of nowhere as everything used to work fine before that. What could be the reason for this and how can I solve it?

    > expo start

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:968
  throw err;
  ^

Answer 1

After lots of hours of struggle at the end I just deleted Expo and then installed it again and it worked.
