Hi @Shizerq, thanks for your issue report. We have patched the usage of require.requireActual in this PR, and should be included in SDK 38. I'm not sure what you are currently using, but upgrading to 38 should fix this for you.

I'm not sure why you get this error in expo-localization. The tests in that one shouldn't run in your project. We did have some traces of require.requireActual in jest-expo, I think that's the origin of your error (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Hope this helps!
