react-native: Invariant Violation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication)

I have started getting this error Invariant Violation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication) since yesterday, my application was working and all of sudden it broke.

Google for hours most of them asked to - Delete your yarn.lock/package-json.lock file and run yarn/npm install. Then try clearing cache with npx react-native start --reset-cache but none of iit worked.

Tried deleting re-building the app but it fails with the same error

index.js

import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

package.json

I was having the same error. But this message was also displayed: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'b.apply')

I’ve managed to trace it back to this in my Redux Store:

(window as any).__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ &&
      (window as any).__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__(),

After removing this, It worked again in my case. I’m guessing this happens when some exception is thrown early on app loading.

I got the same error today and after I run npm start or expo start again on my folder it worked.I hope it will work at you too!

package-lock.json should never be deleted. That is the whole purpose of having the lock file.
