Expo Android APK Build Error: React Version Mismatch Conflict

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I am trying to build an APK for my Expo app using EAS for Android, but I encounter a dependency conflict between Expo and React.
This is my package.json:

JSON
{ "name": "sharebuy", "version": "1.0.0", "main": "app/index.js", "scripts": { "start": "expo start", "android": "expo start --android", "ios": "expo start --ios", "web": "expo start --web" }, "dependencies": { "@react-native-picker/picker": "^2.10.2", "@react-navigation/stack": "^7.1.1", "axios": "^1.7.9", "expo": "^52.0.25", "expo-constants": "~17.0.4", "expo-font": "~13.0.3", "expo-linking": "~7.0.4", "expo-router": "~4.0.16", "expo-secure-store": "~14.0.1", "expo-splash-screen": "~0.29.20", "expo-status-bar": "~2.0.1", "react": "19.0.0", "react-dom": "19.0.0", "react-native": "0.76.6", "react-native-dotenv": "^3.4.11", "react-native-dropdown-picker": "^5.4.6", "react-native-gesture-handler": "~2.20.2", "react-native-image-picker": "^7.2.3", "react-native-picker-select": "^9.3.1", "react-native-safe-area-context": "4.12.0", "react-native-screens": "~4.4.0", "react-native-tab-view": "^4.0.5", "react-native-toast-message": "^2.2.1", "react-native-vector-icons": "^10.2.0", "react-native-web": "~0.19.13" }, "devDependencies": { "@babel/core": "^7.25.2" }, "private": true }

When I run eas build --platform android, I encounter this error:

BASH

I have already tried running npm install --force and npm install --legacy-peer-deps, but the problem persists.

My questions are:

  1. How can I resolve this dependency conflict?
  2. What does the message "While resolving: expo@52.0.27 Found: react@19.0.0" mean?

Thank you!

The error occurs because your project’s React version (19.0.0) isn’t compatible with the version expected by Expo and its dependencies. When the resolver logs:

  "While resolving: expo@52.0.27
   Found: react@19.0.0"

it means that while Expo (version 52.0.27) was checking its dependency tree, it detected your project is using React 19.0.0 whereas its (and React Native’s) peer dependencies expect a version around React 18. (For example, react-native@0.77.0 requires react@"^18.2.0".)

How to Fix

  1. Downgrade React (and react-dom) to a Supported Version:
    Update your package.json to use a React version that is compatible with Expo. For example:

    JSON
    { "dependencies": { "expo": "^52.0.25", "react": "18.2.0", "react-dom": "18.2.0", "react-native": "0.76.6", // other dependencies... } }
  2. Reinstall Dependencies:
    Delete your node_modules folder and lock files (like package-lock.json or yarn.lock) and reinstall the dependencies:

    BASH
    rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json npm install
  3. Re-run the Build:
    After ensuring that you are running compatible dependency versions, retry the EAS build:

    BASH
    eas build --platform android

This should resolve the dependency conflicts. Remember that using unsupported versions might cause instability even if you force the installation, so it’s best to stick with the versions recommended by Expo for your SDK version.

It looks like one of the dependencies still relies on react 18
unfortunately at the time of writing react 19 is very new and not all packages have updated to support this.

From this part:

BASH
npm ERR! peer react@"^18.2.0" from react-native@0.77.0

react-native v0.77.0 relies on react ^18

From the react-native issues thread, they dont yet support react-19:
