Issue and Reproduction Steps

Steps to repro

In terminal

$ npx react-native init YARN662 --version 0.66.0-rc2
$ npx react-native init NPM662 --npm --version 0.66.0-rc2

# This works
$ cd YARN662 && npx react-native run-android # or run-ios

# This doesn't work
$ cd NPM662 && npx react-native run-android # or run-ios

Here is how the --npm flag is used in react-native-cli: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/641b21f583c97e3d48ce87d5fe804f42db92fa5c/packages/cli/src/commands/init/init.ts#L213

Attempting diffs of node_modules

diff RN662/node_modules NPM662/node_modules
diff -r RN66RC2/node_modules/react-native NPM662/node_modules/react-native

Outstanding questions -- to be investigated

1. Is this issue unique to 0.66.0? 0.66.0-rc.2?

[lunaleaps]

Tested on 0.65.1 and does not occur

[ShikaSD]

The issue seems to be caused by @react-native-community/cli, where npm pulls in 0.65.1:

➜  NPM662 npm ls react-native
NPM662@0.0.1
└─┬ react-native@0.66.0-rc.3
  └─┬ @react-native-community/cli@6.0.0
    └── react-native@0.65.1

@lunaleaps @ShikaSD fixed in CLI 6.0.1

We still need to verify if performance.now is now working with the CLI 6.0.1, I'll report back later.

OK, I verified it worked properly with the CLI update

npx react-native init NPM66_3b --npm --version 0.66.0-rc.3

Verified peer deps:

npm ls react-native
npm66_3b@0.0.1 /Users/fkg/tmp/NPM66_3b
└─┬ react-native@0.66.0-rc.3
  └─┬ @react-native-community/cli@6.0.1
    └── react-native@0.66.0-rc.3 deduped

And building w/ Xcode and running it worked with no issue:
