I got the same error when I ran react-native link as advised on https://docs.nativebase.io/docs/GetStarted.html

Maybe you can try react-native upgrade

[shrijan]

react-native upgrade wont fix the issue

[kessler9]

Same issue here. No react-native upgrade doesn't work.

Likewise, react-native upgrade didn't work.
I have also performed the following:

• Deleted Node_modules
• Deleted all .lock files
• ran npm install

"react-native link" still not working

Edit: I am specifically having these problems after install react-navigation

npm update then react-native link worked for me.
