React Native typescript Unexpected token in catch clause

Question

I have a fully configured react native typescript project and everything is working as expected, but I have a strange issue:

I all of my catch blocks, since I have strict mode enabled, I have typescript errors like this one

So the first obvious thing to do was to add any type to the error object

Ok, error gone. But at this point the problem in in RN bundler:

I am pretty sure that it's caused by some sort of wrong typescript configuration, but I really don't have any idea of what to check, any help?

UPDATE:

Just updated some babel related packages and it works now 😅

@babel/core: ^7.6.2t --> ^7.12.9
@babel/runtime: ^7.6.2 --> ^7.12.5
metro-react-native-babel-preset: ^0.58.0 --> ^0.66.0
