Removing .babelrc seems to temporarily fix the issue

I’ve had a lot of issues with React Native version 0.45 and up. One thing that I found is that React Native doesn’t play well with npm 5. Switch to npm 4. Do this with npm install -g npm@latest-4. If that doesn’t help, simply switch to React Native 0.44.0. That’s what I’m using, and you’re not missing out on much by going back. When starting a new project, run react-native init projectname --version 0.44.0. Hope that helps!

0.46.1 is now out, please give it another go. As always, make sure to clear out your node_modules directory and run npm install again.

@ryan-burmeister I had no problems on react-native@0.45 with npm 5. This is a new problem in 0.46
