Answer 1

Please make sure, that you have git installed. NPM requires git for installing some of the packages. You can check if git is installed via:

git --version

If so, according to the reported issue, removing and reinstalling node_modules should help:

rm -rf node_modules && npm install

You can also try to resolve the issue with yarn:

brew install yarn
npm uninstall -g create-react-native-app
yarn global add create-react-native-app

Answer 2

It appears to be a core-js version issue.

In package.json, check "expo-core": "version" and if it is lower than the error:You correct the version to fit the error.

and rm -rf node_modules && npm install

or

npm install -g expo-cli

Once you've done it, try running a new expo init.
