Same issue here

@hikmert This is because of Axios 1.0.0.

axios/axios#4998 (comment)

downgrade axios to axios ^0.27.2
and
npm start -- --reset-cache

[slasho]

so the problem is axios not hermes or react-native?

[Namdurash]

I faced the same issue. After reading the tips above, I downgraded my axios to version 0.27.2 and launched the bundler with the --reset-cache flag. It really helped. Apparently, axios uses inside some part of the code that is prohibited in Hermes, which makes it undesirable to use axios until it is fixed. Because downgrading to such a low version is extremely dangerous in production.
Steps to resolve it:

1. yarn upgrade axios@^0.27.2
2. yarn start --reset-cache

I'm downgraded Axios 1.1.3 to 0.19.2 and works for me.

"axios": "0.19.2"

"react-native": 0.70.6

Downgrading Axios from ^1.1.3 to ^0.27.2 worked fine for me

"react-native": "0.70.6"
