It worked for me. 1 - Download ngrok - https://ngrok.com/download 2 - Leave the .exe running 3 - Run the tunnel command again
In my case the solution was to disable the antivirus just before running “npx expo start --tunnel”.
It appears to be a common issue that has recently affected many users. I tried two solutions, and both worked for me. However, the issue now seems to have been resolved, and I no longer require those solutions to make it work as expected.
The two solutions are:
You can also use emulators such as Bluestacks.
I downgraded my node version from the latest ( it must be 18.x.x) to 14.16.1 and my expo sdk from 47 to 46.0.0, now its working for me.
Can confirm it failed twice before working
I tried many times but it seems like it doesn’t work for me, instead now I’m using it without
--tunneland it starts, because without--tunnelyou don’t need ngirok . But tunneling still not working.
