It looks like your issue may be missing some necessary information. Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the Environment section?

@chadbay what can I do meanwhile to avoid this error?

Hey guys, I had this problem too and I installed the react-native with older version with the following command:
react-native init --version="0.44.0" app_name

You can substitute the version 0.44.0 for another version, but I don't tested it yet.
This works for me, I hope its help you.

I also faced this issue and search for this issue then I found this error is coming from backend issue is new React-Native Version you have to wait for the new version or downgrade your react-native Version to work
