Unexpected token, expected "," (51:12) on Expo created app from old boilerplate

A few years ago i created an expo app. Added a few extra things on top of the default created app. Now I am trying to update this app to the latest expo version, after installing expo and all the dependecies i needed i get the following error after my app is built.

ERROR  SyntaxError: E:\Reactnative-apps\ExceptionTransport - saveguard\App.js: Unexpected token, expected "," (51:12)

  49 |   } else {
  50 |     return (
> 51 |       <View style={styles.container}>
     |             ^
  52 |
  53 |         <NavigationContainer ref={containerRef} initialState={initialNavigationState}>
  54 |           <Stack.Navigator>

This is the full code of the file where the error happens

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

export default function App(props) {
  const [isLoadingComplete, setLoadingComplete] = React.useState(false);
  const [initialNavigationState, setInitialNavigationState] = React.useState();
  const containerRef = React.useRef();
  const { getInitialState } = useLinking(containerRef);

  // Load any resources or data that we need prior to rendering the app
  React.useEffect(() => {
    async function loadResourcesAndDataAsync() {
      try {

        // Load our initial navigation state
        setInitialNavigationState(await getInitialState());

          'space-mono': require('./assets/fonts/SpaceMono-Regular.ttf'),
        });
      } catch (e) {
        // We might want to provide this error information to an error reporting service
        console.warn(e);
      } finally {
        setLoadingComplete(true);
        SplashScreen.hideAsync();
