does your URL look something like this: Your URL is: exp://192.168.1.73:19000 as opposed to this: exp://9h-hcy.bacon.tickle_me_elmo.exp.direct:80 if so then try running: exp start --tunnel and check to make sure you have a pretty solid wifi connection 💙🌝

What you need to do is: Go to cmd and type “ipconfig” and see which network is using the ip shown in your expo app. if it’s not your router IP address then what you need to do is to go and disable the network which expo is using: Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections and here disable the network that expo is using. (it should be a LAN network connection) try to run “npm start” again, it should be working now. If my solution is not clear feel free to ask me.
