Question

• It looks like you're trying to use web support but don't have the required dependencies installed.

• Please install react-native-web@~0.18.7, react-dom@18.0.0, @expo/webpack-config@^0.17.0 by running:

• npx expo install react-native-web@~0.18.7 react-dom@18.0.0 @expo/webpack-config@^0.17.0

• If you're not using web, please ensure you remove the "web" string from the platforms array in the project Expo config.

Just in case someone get face the issues. it works for window in my case.I did twice for the practicing No more errors I am ready to start on the project.

1. first create app from "npx create-expo-app" as the root project not from React Native.
2. cd [your app]
3. npx react-native@latest init [yourapp]
4. yarn add @expo/webpack-config

please noted use yarn to install webpack-config not npm install it not gonna work. done you are ready to go...
