expo cli cannot start project

Expo Development Tools
1

When I start with “expo start” , the metro bundler loads up. However, I am having problems starting the app with any of the options.What have I done wrong here? What should I do to fix it?
1)Scanning the QR code in android expo client— Something went wrong. Could not load exp://127.0.0.1:19000. clicking on error log gives "Uncaught Error:java.net.ConnectException:Failed to connect to /127.0.0.1:19000 21:32:40 Fatal Error.
The link is shown above the QR code as exp://127.0.0.1:19000

  1. Publish or Republish project-- I get following errors

3)Send Link with email—when I click on the link in my email, a blank page opens in a new tab .Nothing is visible.
4) Run on web browser—tries to open the project on http://127.0.0.1:19006/
This site cant be reached. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
5) I connect an android device

  1. When I buid an apk with “expo build:android -t apk” it gets built correctly.

All the options above were functioning properly before trying to get a react-native-picker installed, sent my project on a downward spiral.To get the picker working I had to install expo sdk 38. The expo stopped working.To get that to work I had to downgrade expo- cli to 3.5.0

expo-cli 3.5.0 is very old! it was released about a year ago. you should install the latest version. 3.25.0

As I have explained above,
“All the options above were functioning properly before trying to get a react-native-picker installed, sent my project on a downward spiral.To get the picker working I had to install expo sdk 38. The expo stopped working.To get that to work I had to downgrade expo- cli to 3.5.0”

When I had the cli to 3.24 and upgraded the sdk to 38 to accommodate the picker component, I started getting issues. I followed the following thread and downgraded the cli

update:
now even trying to build the apk is giving the following error. I think this is something to do with the path 127.0.0.1:19001 as this seems to be common in all errors.

C:\nodejs\trial1>expo build:android -t apk

Hi notbrent,
and following your advice, I tried to uninstall and install cli and still got some EPERM ERRORS. Not sure where I should go from here, unless someone can help me/point me in the right direction.
