"New update available, downloading..." on Expo

Question

After opening my React Native project in Expo, I get a "New update available, downloading..." infinite loading on the Android emulator.

I tried restarting the server and restarting the emulator, expecting to see the actual content of my React Native application.

1. Stop the server.
2. Uninstall Expo on Android emulator.
3. Run npm start.
4. Reopen the application on Android emulator.
