Can you try running npx tsc --jsx react-native --module ESNext -t esnext --outDir js --noEmit false out of the script and give me the results. Please also provide me the node, npm and yarn version of your device.

Running the above command inside a project using TypeScript (which works successfully) results in no output. Running the command in the project using Javascript (which fails) results in the following error:

error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'react-native'. The file is in the program because: Entry point of type library 'react-native' specified in compilerOptions

tsconfig.json:4:15 4 "types": ["react-native", "jest", "node"],

    File is entry point of type library specified here.

Followed by a number of Cannot write file because it would overwrite the input file.

Node Version 19.9.0
NPM Version 9.6.3
Yarn Version 1.22.19
