Unhandled JS Exception: Unexpected identifier 'invariant'. import call expects exactly one argument. no stack

Description

So Xcode got updated to the 13.2.1 version and since that update I am no being able to run the app. It builds successfully but doesn’t run, this error shows up:

I tried recloning the app but it doesn’t work, also I build and run another react native app and it works normally and also download the simulators for iOS 15 because the update brings the 15.2 which is the latest iOS version.

Please help.

I have a similar issue: Unhandled JS Exception: Unexpected identifier ‘_classCallCheck’. import call expects exactly one argument. no stack Please helps me

Hey guys! 😎

When we copy or clone a project. The package.json file always comes with a caret “^” in front of the versions of some packages. That is, when we run the installation (npm/yarn) the packages will be updated. 😱

It worked for me! 👌

Recommend using this site 😏 React Native Upgrade Helper by selecting your React Native version and adjusting the version number in package.json file. Then remove the node_modules folder and the file ( package-lock.json or yarn.lock) and run the install command and be happy! 🤩

🏆 Gold tip: To avoid errors like this in the future, remove the “^” cases from versions.
