Tunnel URL not found, falled back to LAN URL

Solution 1:

Updating these node packages solved my problem:

expo-cli and @expo/ngrok

Your development laptop/computer needs to be on the same network as your mobile.

I connected my phone to my home wifi router and turned off 4g

Then I connected my laptop to the same wifi router

I created an account with expo and logged in by performing expo login and filling in the details

I then published by performing expo publish

I then scanned the qr code and it loaded and build the project onto my iphone

I then went into the root of the project and typed expo start --tunnel and it worked
