fontFamily "Lato_900Black," is not a system font and has not been loaded through Font.loadAsync.

• If you intended to use a system font, make sure you typed the name correctly and that it is supported by your device operating system.

• If this is a custom font, be sure to load it with Font.loadAsync.

I second that. The error comes up after all expo packages have been updated. What is causing this?

figured it out u need to remove/uninstall expo-font and leave expo-google-font as they both might be clashing

3+ hours of spinning circles and this was it.
