same issue in SDK 48. i have previously tried to fix apollo error TypeError: Cannot read property 'data' of undefined by adding exotic mode in metro.config.js:

const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname, {
    // Initialize in exotic mode.
    // If you want to preserve `react-native` resolver main field, and omit cjs support, then leave this undefined
    // and skip setting the `EXPO_USE_EXOTIC` environment variable.
    mode: 'exotic',
});

https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo/issues/3922 https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/15860 but then I got experimental syntax error. if you are running into the same scenario my way to go was to downgrade apollo/client version and remove exotic mode from metro config.
