@icefee thanks

add --npm at the end of your command

The reason for adding --npm:

If you have both yarn and npm installed on your machine, React Native CLI will always try to use yarn, so even if you use npx utility, only react-native executable will be installed using npm and the rest of the work will be delegated to yarn. You can force usage of npm adding --npm flag to the command.

npx react-native init YourAwesomeProject --npm
_____________________ above command works without uninstall yarn____________________________________
uninstall yarn globally
npm uninstall -g yarn

Definitely, Yarn is the problem.

npx react-native init YourAwesomeProject --npm

That worked for me

Closing the issue for now since we seem to have found a workaround for now (while we still work on proper solution 🙂 )

For those who don't want to uninstall yarn globally:

If you have followed the docs here https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install and used corepack, just run the following command:

corepack prepare yarn@1.22.19 --activate
