This is one way how I solved this issue.

I deleted the yarn.lock file & .expo folder and tried running expo upgrade and it worked.

I was upgrading from SDK 44 to SDK 45.

remove this line from package.json

"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-39.0.3.tar.gz"

now remove node_modules

now:

yarn install

now add that line back in package.json

again

yarn install

now if it succeeds, do a

expo upgrade

I solved after 2 days

I ran yarn install (npm install should do the same thing.) in my project folder first. Then expo upgrade command worked.

By any chance is this a monorepo? I ran into this error because I accidentally upgrade expo in the root folder

To solve it in a monorepo, I first ran `yarn install` in the root – Fernando Rojo Oct 06 '22 at 23:22
Where should we run the `expo upgrade` if we are working with yarn monorepos? – Kasra Feb 08 '23 at 16:00

Only thing I did is to delete the yarn.lock then run the upgrade command, the non-zero error goes away

It looks like you’re using an old version of npm. Try upgrading. Also make sure you’re using a recent even-numbered version of node (e.g. version 16 or 18)

If that doesn’t fix it, you can try running the following:

npm config set legacy-peer-deps true

You can set it back to the default false again afterwards.

I had the same issue when trying to run :

npx create-expo-app AwesomeProject

The cause of the problem: dependency issue between the packages coming from react-native package , so if u try to remove react-native from package.json then -> npm install no errors will appear.

The solution:

Go to package.json
Change the react-native version // mine was 17.1 I changed it to 17.0
Remove node modules
Run : npm install --legacy-peer-deps

And now it should be solved ! CHEERS !

I'm working on expo react native, the latest version.

This worked for me:

Deleting .expo
Deleting node_modules
npm install
expo upgrade
