i am having the same problem

[layercomp]

I'm facing the same issue

[allain]

same problem happens with node 10 and 11 here.

Looks like it's probably related to @react-native-community/cli being updated 7 hours ago.

react-native-community/cli#260

If you're looking for a quick solution can edit a file in node modules: react-native-community/cli@0c00895 and re-run the command. It worked for me.

C'est un duplicata de #24103.
