When upgrading to RN 0.59.4 and after a successful build - one can encounter the following error in metro bundler:
react native Cannot find module 'metro/src/reactNative Transformer
I think there's an issue with the version of metro packaged with the latest RN Upgrade.
I just installed locally in dev metro npm install --save-dev metro, which is the version 0.51.1, and that worked for me.
