I too am facing this problem. But after one or two times the server starts successfully.

I tried many times but it seems like it doesn't work for me, instead now I'm using it without --tunnel and it starts, because without --tunnel you don't need ngirok .
But tunneling still not working.

is the metro bundler website showing up if you running expo ? Nothing happens if I use "npx expo start", all I can see is the qr code and "Metro waiting on exp://127.0.0.1:19000"
"Scan the QR code above with Expo Go (Android) or the Camera app (iOS)". If I scan the qr code i receive the message "Something went wrong" on my expo go app.

[Vahidpro]

No, metro bundler website not showing up and no QR code, it won't proceed to produce QR code, before producing, this error happens

[kaserne1994]

I downgraded my node version from the latest ( it must be 18.x.x) to 14.16.1 and my expo sdk from 47 to 46.0.0, now its working for me.

[Vahidpro]

I think expo sdk is not yet tested in react 18.x.x
