\node_modules\metro-config\src\defaults\blacklist.js

var sharedBlacklist = [

  /node_modules[/\\]react[/\\]dist[/\\].*/,

  /website\/node_modules\/.*/,

  /heapCapture\/bundle\.js/,

  /.*\/__tests__\/.*/

];

change to:

var sharedBlacklist = [

  /node_modules[\/\\]react[\/\\]dist[\/\\].*/,

  /website\/node_modules\/.*/,

  /heapCapture\/bundle\.js/,

  /.*\/__tests__\/.*/

];
