I've created a new project using react-native init 'project name' and everything is good, once I run the app using react-native run-android the app starts but gives me a redBox screen that shows an error:

Loading dependency graph, done. Error: Unable to resolve module ./index from C:\Users\Alaa\Documents\ReactNativeProjects\myProject\node_modules\react-native\scripts/.: The module ./index could not be found from C:\Users\Alaa\Documents\ReactNativeProjects\myProject\node_modules\react-native\scripts/.. Indeed, none of these files exist:

It tells me that the index.js file is not found but it is already there! Can you help me guys, I've been searching for this problem for about 1 day. I tried to clean the cache and install the npm again but didn't work. I tried to change the version too but didn't work.

• it is not an issue with 0.59.1. If you upgraded from older version of React Native, there some major changes in files and that is why you will get that error. Please see rn-diff-purge – Ziyo Commented Mar 25, 2019 at 1:50

I was also getting the same problem. There is no problem with the react native version. My react native version is 0.59.1. I just solved it by using

npm start -- --reset-cache

I guys, but maybe a lot of people do not know the following:

First make sure that device is connected: adb devices

Open 2 cmd's windows (Windowskey+R [cmd]) and...

1) in First Window : react-native start -- --reset-cache

2) in Second Window : react-native run-android

open terminal and run this code
'watchman watch-del-all && react-native start -- --reset-cache'

I tried resetting cache and deleting node_modules files but didn't work with me. What worked with me is using 0.58.6 version when first creating the app (react-native init --version 0.58.6 name) solved my problem. Thanks, guys!

I accidentally deleted my index.js file. Maybe it helps?

I was getting the same error. I just downgrade the react-native version to 0.58.6 and it works for me :)

Try to run following mand and It might work.

> npm i [email protected] 

This is happening for latest version 0.59.1 I guess it is not stable. Stable version is 0.58.6. Better to create new project with that particular version as react-native init --version = "0.58.6" <Your App Name> .
