   I am seeing this same error after upgrading from v4 to v5 following the migration guide.

   I am using expo development builds and see this error on both IOS and Android.

   Here is the relevant code in my setup. I am still using the old config style, but that works on web and I don't think is the issue here.

   /* tailwind.config.js */
   
   import { colors } from "./src/theme/colors";
   
   export const theme = {
     extend: {
       fontFamily: {
         sans: "Inclusive Sans",
       },
       colors: colors,
     },
   };

   /* global.css */
   
   @import "tailwindcss/theme.css" layer(theme);
   @import "tailwindcss/preflight.css" layer(base);
   @import "tailwindcss/utilities.css";
   
   @import "nativewind/theme";
   
   @config "../tailwind.config.js";
   
   :focus,
   :focus-visible {
     outline: none;
   }

   /* metro.config.js */
   
   const { withNativewind } = require("nativewind/metro");
   
   module.exports = withNativewind(config, {
     input: "./src/global.css",
     inlineRem: 16,
   });

   Thank you for your reply.

   You said: ... but that works on web and I don't think is the issue here.
   This means that your APP can run well on the WEB, but it still encounters errors on Android phone+ExpoGo.

   I want the app to run on （Android phone + ExpoGo） without any errors.
   This problem has not been solved yet，now, I can only temporarily debug the APP on the WEB.

   The problem has been temporarily solved.

   1、Give up manual configuration.
   2、Download an APP template：
   react-native-reusables-templates

   I was just saying I am seeing the same issue, but on development builds not expo go. I'm still looking for a solution.

   Does that solution still use nativewind v5?

   No, this solution uses nativewind v4.
   In my packaging.json file："nativewind": "^4.2.1"

   Leave this problem for later to find a solution.
   I just want to learn react-native-reusables.
   Thank you again for your reply.

   Now I can code happily.
   First, learn react-native-reusables.

   If you come to my city for sightseeing, I will guide you for free.

   Moving this nativewind/react-native-css as it pertains to v5. I'm progressively going through issues pertaining to both v5 and v4.

   This might have been an issue with me not following the setup docs exactly. I forgot to pin the lightning css version and this issue was resolved once I pinned it.

    This was resolved by pinning the lightningcss version, as noted in the comments. Closing as resolved.
