The Swift pod `ExpoModulesCore` depends upon `React-RCTAppDelegate` - ios

Question

What a complete nightmare it is updating react-native libraries with expo. I tried updating the codebase libraries to help the my app become up to date. However, as expected, its not as easy as running a npm update --force :D. I have been going through errors for the last few days; today is day three of fixing errors until I get a successful build. Todays error is really stumping me. Anyone now how to resolve the following?:
Error
The Swift pod `ExpoModulesCore` depends upon `React-RCTAppDelegate`, which does not define modules.
I tried adding pod 'ExpoModulesCore',:modular_headers => true to my podfile but this resulted in the following error:
[!] Unable to find a specification for `ExpoModulesCore`
...Even though I have this in my package.json file which I'll add below. The name is different is in package.json it has hypens between the words. However, if I change the name to that I get the same error just with the corresponding name.
so I tried a global modular_headers but then got a name space conflict with google error. I then tried adding pod 'React-RCTAppDelegate', :modular_headers => true but I get the following error
[!] There are multiple dependencies with different sources for `React-RCTAppDelegate` in `Podfile`:
- React-RCTAppDelegate
- React-RCTAppDelegate (from `../node_modules/react-native/Libraries/AppDelegate`)
I am completely lost what to do any more, this must be error 49/xxx. I will provide my old package.json and my new one along with my podfile and delegate.m and h files. Any help is appreciated.
I downgraded expo because it helped me resolve another error I was getting related to no modules defined in reatdelegate
