Expo App Stuck on Splash Screen, No Errors

Issue

My app has been working fine but is now stuck on splash screen after building. I have been unable to understand why the issue is occurring. I tried to go back to a much older version of my project that I know was working, but it had the same issue.

I deleted node_modules and reinstalled on the old and new versions and they both had the same issue. So, I assumed it was a problem with my development environment. I had a friend clone the repo on his machine and test and he bizarrely got the exact same issue, which makes me think it isn't a problem with the dev environment. I reset my entire machine (MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon) and reinstalled homebrew, watchman, node, yarn, xcode, and expo-cli. Same issue. I tried expo upgrade and expo doctor to try to resolve issues that way. I do not know what steps to take next. I am, however, getting some errors from watchman I will include below. Note this is an expo managed project.

Any help or troubleshooting tips are much appreciated.

Solution

I was able to fix the issue by removing my "resolutions" line in my package.json. It seemed to be causing the issue.
