Same problem occurs with the configuration below :

VSCODE Version: 1.36.1
React-Native VS Code extension version: 0.10.2
Node.js: 10.15.1
OS: Win32 x64
Expo: 3.0.2

Update : Reverting back to 0.10.0 didn't solve the problem. Other IDE functions are working properly

Hi guys, thanks for letting us know. It seems to be an @expo/xdl package regression: https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/864. To workaround it simply reinstall @expo/xdl package in extension directory:

• Open extension directory in terminal: cd YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY/.vscode/extensions/msjsdiag.vscode-react-native-0.10.2
• Uninstall @expo/xdl: npm uni --no-save @expo/xdl
• Install @expo/[email protected]: npm i --no-save @expo/[email protected]

When the original issue will be resolved and expo will release a patch, just reinstall the extension and problem will go away automatically.

Thanks, @ruslan-bikkinin, it worked for me.

[serkanz]

thanks @ruslan-bikkinin , that worked like a charm.

[akash-dubey-kranti]

Thanks, @ruslan-bikkinin, it worked. You saved my day.

[iscriptology]

thanks, helped a lot

[olegMarin]

it really worked for me!

[jaikme]

@ruslan-bikkinin answer works, but you will need repeat the process if the vscode-react-native gets updated, mine now is msjsdiag.vscode-react-native-0.11.0

[ruslan-bikkinin]

@jaikme unfortunately, yes. We can't do much about it because this is Expo issue. If you want to get it resolved quicker, I'd suggest to go to the issue page and vote for it/leave a comment.

So, I apply the @expo/xdl downgrade workaround suggested by @ruslan-bikkinin above, which gets rid of the get "Cannot read property 'getCurrentUserAsync' of undefined" and everything appears to be good. However, when I try to run the app in my android Expo client app, I get a message that the "Packager not running at...." and it all comes to a stop. Running VS code1.38 with React Native Tools 0.11 but have also tried earlier versions with the same result. Any ideas anyone?
