root cause is: there is lower typescript version dependency in the third party libs.

see this is my project package.json

"dependencies": {
    "@types/express-serve-static-core": "^4.17.33",
    "react": "16.13.1",
    "react-native": "0.63.4",
    "react-native-monorepo-tools": "^1.1.4",
    "typescript": "^4.9.5",
    "yarn-work-space-demo": "ssh://code.pruconnect.net:7999/~xiongbo.cen_prudential.com.cn/yarn-work-space-demo.git",
    "use-low-typescript-version": "ssh://git@github.com:cengit/use-low-typescript-version.git"
  }
"resolutions": {
    "typescript": "^4.9.5" // did not work here
  },
  "overrides": {
    "typescript": "^4.9.5" // did not work here either
  }

use-low-typescript-version project package.json

"devDependencies": {
    "@commitlint/config-conventional": "^8.3.4",
    "@react-native-community/bob": "^0.16.2",
    "@react-native-community/eslint-config": "^2.0.0",
    "@release-it/conventional-changelog": "^1.1.4",
    "@types/jest": "^26.0.0",
    "@types/react": "^16.9.19",
    "@types/react-native": "0.62.13",
    ...
    "typescript": "^3.8.3" // **** see the devil is here ****
  }

how to fix: just change the use-low-typescript-version project package.json "typescript": "^3.8.3" to "typescript": "^4.9.5"

fixing:

"devDependencies": {
    "@commitlint/config-conventional": "^8.3.4",
    "@react-native-community/bob": "^0.16.2",
    "@react-native-community/eslint-config": "^2.0.0",
    "@release-it/conventional-changelog": "^1.1.4",
    "@types/jest": "^26.0.0",
    "@types/react": "^16.9.19",
    "@types/react-native": "0.62.13",
    ...
    "typescript": "^4.9.5" // **** update the version fix the issue ****
  }

how to locate the lib which having the lower version of typescript?

see the error message:

Error: Failed to build definition files.

go to node_modules path in above error message: /Users/cen/Library/Caches/Yarn/v6/.tmp/091f62b39b416fea18d958e1e47fa3bb.48ceed475233cc30f0b9d9f9cc4ad31181860ed6.prepare/node_modules/ and then open the typescript/package.json under this dir, it is:

/Users/cen/Library/Caches/Yarn/v6/.tmp/091f62b39b416fea18d958e1e47fa3bb.48ceed475233cc30f0b9d9f9cc4ad31181860ed6.prepare/node_modules/typescript/package.json

this is the typescript/package.json:
