React Native DuplicateError: Duplicated files or mocks

Question

After updating xCode I am facing the below error from a week. I am not able to run app on device. I dont think the issue is with xcode because even if I try to run on android device the same issue occurs.

The issue occurs when we run npm start also with reset option the same error occurs.

The only option is to run on android device after deleting ios build folder.

The error

The following files share their name; please adjust your hasteImpl:

I have deleted multiple times node modules, did a fresh install as well but the issue comes up every time.

Answer 1

The cause for me was that I had two different package.json files with the same value for the name property.
