Invariant Violation: "main" has not been registered. This can happen if:
* Metro (the local dev server) is run from the wrong folder. Check if Metro is running, stop it and restart it in the current project.
* A module failed to load due to an error and `AppRegistry.registerComponent` wasn't called.

To Reproduce Here's my dependencies in package.json

    "expo-file-system": "~14.0.0",
    "expo-media-library": "~14.1.0",

    "react-native": "0.68.2",
    "react-native-zip-archive": "^6.0.8",

@benedictpmateo I had this issue as well, even after a cd ios; pod install. It worked after I uninstalled the app, deleted all pods rm -rf ios/Pods/*, re-ran pod install, then re-build and run.
