I am getting this error and I am having a lot of trouble fixing this.

What I am trying to do here is have 3 different screens and have a tabbar that navigates to eac

This is probably caused by some JS module export/import issues in your program, typically for one of the two reasons listed below:

• You forget to export, or you export something incorrectly
• You import something that doesn't exist, or you import something incorrectly

I ran into similar error, but in my case, it is not caused by export but caused by import, and I used the import statement incorrectly to import something that doesn't exist in the module.

In my case, the import was incorrectly written as:

import { MyComponent } from './MyComponents/MyComponent'

while actually it should be:

import MyComponent from './MyComponents/MyComponent'

And it drove me crazy and took me a whole day to figure it out and I hope this will save several hours for some people.
