Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

This error comes from files that are autogenerated by React Native. I don't think I will be able to help much here but you should consider opening an issue in the react-native repo.
