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.

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

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.

It appears to be a common issue that has recently affected many users. I tried two solutions, and both worked for me. However, the issue now seems to have been resolved, and I no longer require those solutions to make it work as expected.

The two solutions are:

  1. Trying multiple times may work.
  2. Installing the ngrok app from their official website, and leaving it running, may also work.

You can also use emulators such as Bluestacks.

It worked for me.
1 - Download ngrok - https://ngrok.com/download
2 - Leave the .exe running
3 - Run the tunnel command again

In my case the solution was to disable the antivirus just before running "npx expo start --tunnel".
