Just the fact that this is added as a dependency breaks the android build. Not sure why. I have a guess that @react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle searches for modules starting with 'react-native' and tries to add them as native dependencies and then gets confused with this name.

cd test2
yarn add -D react-native-clean-project
yarn react-native run-android
yarn run v1.17.3
