One of the causes of this error is if your node_modules directory is deleted.
If you delete it for some reason you will need to rerun npm install or yarn (depending on which one you use) to recreate it.

You should not usually need to delete your node_modules directory.

No, I was not referring to expo-cli or installing the yarn package manager. I was referring to using npm or yarn to install your dependencies for your project.

If you have been using npm to install your dependencies you should have a package-lock.json file in the root of your project (where you have app.json and package.json). If you have been using yarn to install your dependencies you should instead have a yarn.lock file. You should not have both.

Regardless of whether you use npm or yarn to install your dependencies you should have a directory called node_modules containing the dependencies and their dependencies etc. If this is missing you will get an error like the one you’re getting.

In order to recreate node_modules, you run one of the following, (depending on whether you use npm or yarn to install your dependencies.):

npm install

or

yarn

When I say npm install, I mean literally npm install. I am not abbreviating npm install -g expo-cli or something similar. Same with running yarn to install dependencies. You literally just run yarn.
