●Issue #1

Incompatibility between resolver.unstable_enablePackageExports and @react-native/metro-config defaults causing 'interopRequireDefault is not a function' error. Fix by setting resolver.unstable_conditionNames = ['react-native'] in Metro config.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If using unstable_enablePackageExports, update your Metro configuration to include resolver.unstable_conditionNames = ['react-native'] to avoid interop errors.
