Cannot find module './xcode'

Environment

Run react-native info returns same error:

npx react-native info
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module './xcode'
Require stack:

Description

pod install: 

Error: Cannot find module './xcode'
Require stack:
- /Users/user/myapp/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-doctor/build/tools/healthchecks/index.js

The basic init doesn't finish installing. I've tried with a number of version of react-native, and none work. It was working last week when I installed a sample app.

 npx react-native@0.71.3 init beatsperminute --version 0.71.3

I can in fact see that ./xcode is not in the build dir:

Hm, re-installing with npm this time (not yarn) the files are there.

[benlieb]

So confused by this. I had to use init --npm to get this to work.

Don't understand why installing with npm would be different from yarn, but it is the case.

Glad it worked!
We're working on solution to bypass this weird behaviour of yarn and npx, for now adding --npm should work tho
