I have converted my project to expo and it does have app.json file

Hi! Do you also have an exp.json file in your project? Our tools don’t have very good error messages right now if you have both.

hey, I experience the same Issue please help me
What’s the proper fix when both are present?
The same keys that are under the expo key in app.json can be used directly in app.json, so you generally just want to merge the two files manually and delete one of them.
I just ran into this issue too and can happily report that the removal of app.json resulted in my newly-converted Expo project being built successfully by the XDE.
I thought it would have been nice if this requirement had been explicitly called out in the Next Steps document producted by exp convert. Thus, I created a Pull Request to add this very note into Next Steps. @dikaiosune perhaps can you review this PR? Thank you.
The expo XDK looks for the expo SDK version in the app.json file. Thus, your app.json should look something like :
{
"name": "MyAPP",
"displayName": "MyAPP",
"expo": {
"sdkVersion": "18.0.0"
}
}
Replace the “18.0.0” with your SDK version. Such error emerges when you create the app using
react-native init
instead of
create-react-native-app
I perceive this as one of the reasons. There may be more such explanations to such occurrences.Happy coding!

I am getting this error, this used to work fine till 2-3 days back and suddenly started getting this error. app.json file is there, deleted and recreated the file. Open XDE in admin mode, nothing is working. Why suddenly I am getting this error.

I found the problem. there was an error in app.json file. Some how one of the comma “,” was deleted and app.json file got invalid. Error was not good so took extra time to figure it out. BUT all is good now.
Thanks :
