Answer 1

remove this line from package.json

"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-39.0.3.tar.gz"

now remove node_modules

now:

yarn install

now add that line back in package.json

again

yarn install

now if it succeeds, do a

expo upgrade

I solved after 2 days

Answer 2

This is one way how I solved this issue.

I deleted the yarn.lock file & .expo folder and tried running expo upgrade and it worked.

I was upgrading from SDK 44 to SDK 45.

Answer 3

I ran yarn install (npm install should do the same thing.) in my project folder first. Then expo upgrade command worked.

Answer 4

By any chance is this a monorepo? I ran into this error because I accidentally upgrade expo in the root folder
