Web Bundling failed - Metro error: SyntaxError: expo-app\global.css: Bad character escape sequence

[dineshpithiya]

I cloned the gluestack-ui-starter-kits repository and navigated into the expo-app folder. Then, I ran the yarn command. After a few minutes, the installation was complete. I ran yarn start, and it displayed several options. I chose the web option by pressing W.

› Web is waiting on http://localhost:8081

› Press s │ switch to development build

› Press a │ open Android
› Press w │ open web

› Press j │ open debugger
› Press r │ reload app
› Press m │ toggle menu
› Press o │ open project code in your editor

It returns error like below

Adding to this. I also have a problem with character escapes. Unfortunately, my error looks worse because of the shell also interpreting the escapes poorly. (Windows / PowerShell terminal in VS Code)

Same error here. I really wanted to try out gluestack and lost last few days fighting with it. I don't think I will try it again in the near future, at least until it starts to deliver what it promises.
