bundling failed: TypeError: Property body[10] of BlockStatement expected node to be of a type ["Statement"] but instead got "Noop"

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Bug

What is the current behavior? I recently upgraded to react-native@0.52.0 with metro@0.24.3 and I can no longer deliver bundles to iOS or Android.

This repo exhibits the issue: https://github.com/DaKaZ/metro-test-app

What is the expected behavior? The bundle should be compiled and delivered to the client

Please provide your exact Metro configuration and mention your Metro, node, yarn/npm version and operating system. I am running on macOS 10.12.6, node 9.2.1, yarn 1.32 and npm 5.6.0.

Do you mean your project’s top-level .babelrc? I’m getting this error (or virtually the same), and for me, deleting the project .babelrc is not an option. If you mean some other .babelrc, what? where?

[DaKaZ]

Just delete the .bablerc file.
