Error: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object.

i used Expo, here my package.json:

"expo": "~40.0.0",
"react": "16.13.1",
 "react-native-svg": "12.1.0",
 "react-native-svg-transformer": "^0.14.3"

i just followed the tutorial but i got this.

Error: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object

here’s my metro.config.js :

const { getDefaultConfig } = require('@expo/metro-config');

module.exports = (async () => {
  const {
    resolver: { sourceExts, assetExts }
  } = await getDefaultConfig(__dirname);
  return {
    transformer: {
      babelTransformerPath: require.resolve('react-native-svg-transformer')
    },
    resolver: {
      assetExts: assetExts.filter((ext) => ext !== 'svg'),
      sourceExts: [...sourceExts, 'svg']
    }
  };
})();

I have the same issue, and here is how I resolve it:

1. Kill the terminal
2. Run react-native start --reset-cache
3. Run watchman watch-del-all && rm -rf /tmp/metro-bundler-cache-* && rm -rf /tmp/haste-map-react-native-packager-*
4. Re-run the project
5. Done!

Hope this can help!

Having the same issue and configured as described. Of course restarted everything. The import result will always be an empty object.

Reverting to 0.20.0 resolves the issue.
