Trying to deploy create-react-app on netlify, however my build is blank page. I'm using .env file for loading firebase api key is that a problem for build?
Even when I tried to open it locally on my computer its blank page and it outputs an error in console: "Loading failed for the with source “file:///event-app/static/js/main.108757a0.js”"

If you're using react-router and trying to open index.html directly in the browser (or using electron, which essentially does that), in addition to setting homepage as others have suggested, replace your BrowserRouter with a HashRouter.
I was trying to build an electron app using create-react-app. When running in development everything was fine, but when I built the CRA and then pointed the electron app to the index.html file, I got the blank page.
I found that that was exactly the same as opening the index.html file directly in the browser. Everyone says "set homepage in package.json", but I already had that. So what now!?
I eventually figured out that the problem was react-router. I was using a BrowserRouter. Switching to a HashRouter solved the problem for me.
Add
"homepage": ".",
in your package.json then build again.
