Unexpected token no stack – android emulator expo

Issue

I get this weird message in android emulator whilst running expo, any idea whats causing this? There seems to be no real stack trace. If I run in debug mode, it works fine which is odd. There’s definitely enough space on the hard disk so don’t think that’s an issue either.

Package.json

  "name": "project",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",

babel.config.js

module.exports = function(api) {
  api.cache(true);
  return {
    presets: [
      'babel-preset-expo'
    ],
    plugins: [
      'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
      'module:react-native-dotenv'
    ]
  };
};

Solution

Found the solution. You have to run the emulator without Android Studio (ie. from the command line)

In Windows:

cd C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator
emulator -avd Pixel_5_API_30

Of course, switch ‘Pixel_5_API_30’ with the name of the emulator listed in Android Studio.
