How do I fix this issue node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js: [BABEL] ?

#node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js: [BABEL]

I already installed all the dependencies for my project, and I’m getting this issue, and I’m not sure how to solve it.

#package.json - Main

{
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",
    "android": "expo start --android",
    "ios": "expo start --ios",
    "web": "expo start --web",
    "eject": "expo eject"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "babel": "^6.23.0",
    "expo": "~39.0.2",
    "expo-status-bar": "~1.0.2",
    "react": "16.13.1",
    "react-dom": "16.13.1",

    "react-native-dotenv": "^2.4.2",

  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "~7.9.0",
    "babel-plugin-module-resolver": "^4.0.0"
  },
  "private": true,
  "name": "my-project"
}

babel.config.js

module.exports = function (api) {
  api.cache(true);
  return {
    presets: ["babel-preset-expo", "module:react-native-dotenv"],
  };
};

Adding the following to my package.json solved my “api.addExternalDependency is not a function” error:

"resolutions": {
  "@babel/core": "^7.20.2",
  "babel-loader": "8.3.0"
}

I just used this documentation https://docs.expo.io/. I ran the following commands: npm install --global expo-cli expo init my-project This includes the version of my previous version of Babel. I didn’t do anything different. You will have to look at NPM website since they Published/Updated a new version 18 days ago for react-native-dotenv. This is why I submitted a ticket since I’m just using current and existing documentation. You are right, I should use a more polite word, but sometimes we have to learn how to take criticism without getting offended. I went to design school and I’m used to receiving bad and good criticism.
