Metro-Bundler doesn't automatically open

Question

I'm new to react native and just started with the installations and set up; when I reach to the expo start or npm start] command, in most videos it shows that a page automatically opens on browser localhost:19002 but for me after several times all I get is

Would be really helpful if someone can direct me on what I should do.

Answer 1

You will have to install react-native-web@~0.18.10, react-dom@18.2.0, @expo/webpack-config@^18.0.1 by running:

npx expo install react-native-web@~0.18.10 react-dom@18.2.0 @expo/webpack-config@^18.0.1

and then press w to open in your web

Answer 2

The Expo CLI Web UI( the page which automatically opens on browser localhost:19002) is deprecated and in the new version of expo is no longer available. Just use terminal UI and tap ? in the terminal to see the available options
