Hello there 👋 this issue doesn't have a repro (which means, a react-native init-ed project with the minimal changes that leads to creating the same issue you are reporting). Unfortunately, I have no way of helping you in a meaningful way – there is no easy way for me to recreate the situation and check that the issue reported is still there when changing the code.

The only suggestion that I can give is that maybe it has something to do with the bundler...? Probably upgrading to 0.59 is the best strategy to try and fix this.

Because of this, we are going to close this issue - but if a repro is shared, we are happy to reopen it 🤗

I know I'm late into the conversation, but I also encountered a similar error:

unhandled js exception unexpected token ': ' no stack

The issue that I had was that I had an extra colon in one of my json files, something like:

"key":: "value",

Hopefully someone finds this useful in the future, it sucks being stuck in a silly issue for a bit :p

In my case, unexpected toke '<' no stack

But surprisingly it happens only when I run on Android 9

It's happening the same to me as @mjm918 and only on Android 9.

I resolved this issue by turning on USB debugging in the android device.
