ERORR after upgrading to Expo SDK 43 - Unable to resolve module @unimodules/core

Question

After I upgraded from Expo SDK 40 to SDK 43 and did npm start I got this error "Unable to resolve module @unimodules/core".

I then checked my package.json and I didn't have this package installed.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I included the "@unimodules/core": "~7.2.0" in my project, and now it works. And then I could upgrade to 43 and 44 expo version.

Answer 2

All fixed! The issue was Expo replaced react-native-unimodules in SDK 43 to the expo. https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/expo-modules-migration.md

Steps:

1. Remove node_modules
2. Remove package-lock.json
3. Run expo upgrade 43 (to ensure package versions are all aligned)
4. Run expo start -c

Answer 3

I tried to upgrade my project from 42 to 44, but I got this same issue. It seams to be a problem with another lib wichs containg unimodules, expo-constants. I tried to remove it, but a lot of others lib depending on it. So, I coundn't resolve it.

Answer 4

It happened to me, so in my case I did fix this issue by removing expo-constants and upgrading expo-analytics
