Unable to install AppLoading

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 44
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): all
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

I’m unable to install AppLoading. Looking inside the package.json dependencies, I’m not able to find
‘expo-app-loading’. It says I have to install it manually. I tried to install it manually by typing: expo install expo-app-loading in the terminal but nothing changes. As soon as I use "import AppLoading from ‘expo-app-loading’; I get bombarded by the errors copy/pasted below:

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey @sebdoy, can you share your env info by pasting what the terminal spits out when you run expo diagnostics?

Also, can you try running npm install expo-app-loading or yarn add expo-app-loading (based on whichever package manager you are using)

Apparently “chokidar” is a file watcher. It should not be watching files outside of your app’s project directory.
