Well that was a strange issue, but I figured it out. Thanks for the suggestions @FiberJW. As it turned out, I needed to clear my watchman & expo caches (cachi? cachie?)
Here’s a link to the steps I took to do so. I know it’s outdated, but the commands to clear the caches worked. Thanks again for your help!
@ryekerjh do you have another dependency that uses react-native-svg 12.X? Maybe pinning the version to 11.0.1 could help solve any mismatches (using resolutions or something similar).
It might also help to try upgrading to SDK 38 since we bumped the react-native-svg version in that release: https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/bf7e261cdc06fc9ec84e5f5735e7871901efa340/CHANGELOG.md#3800
