Description
Problem Description
The react-native-windows page says that for creating a new project using the 0.80.0 version you must run this command:
npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init --version "^0.80.0"
However the following error appears:
error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'major').
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'major')
