Reinstalling node_modules helped me:

rm -rf node_modules
yarn install

I also encountered this situation, and in order to save time, I executed the following mand:

rm -rf ./android/app/release

I am using Android Studio to generate an APK, so the directory mentioned is /android/app/release.

I had the same issue for days but i was able to resolve it by using yarn install expo@^48.0.0 to upgrade my expo project and npx expo install --fix to fix all dependencies to match the SDK 48.

I hope this helps someone.

In case you are still facing similar issue, and the above solutions did not work, here is a solution that worked for me:

First,I ran the following mand to identify which file was the root cause:

node ./node_modules/@react-native-munity/cli/build/bin.js config

This returned the following, indicating an issue with the AndroidManifest.xml of my react-native-screens dependency. Specifically, the package declaration was missing:

error Failed to build the app: No package name found. Found errors in <root-path>\node_modules\react-native-screens\android\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml.

Please not that the issue might be on another dependency.

Once you've identified the issue, just add the necessary package i.e

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android./apk/res/android" package=".swmansion.rnscreens"> </manifest>

Note that I also downgraded my node version to 18,although it is not a mandatory action.
