I am brand new to react-native and react navigation. I am trying to use react navigation v6 and am just running the getting started guide. I am getting this error that I have never seen before. I can run a few basic pages just fine. However, whenever I add navigation I get this unusual error. I have followed all of the guides to the best of my ability and created the original folder with the npx react-native init command. Here's a copy of my App.js file which is the only file that I have changed other than MainActivity.java, where I added the prerequiste onCreate function for React navigation v6. This is straight from their website: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/hello-react-navigation/. I genuinely have no idea why this issue is occurring. Feel free to leave feedback if you need more information. All help would be greatly appreciated.

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';

function HomeScreen() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <Text>Home Screen</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();

function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Home">
        <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

export default App;

This is some kind of compatibility issue. Fixed by npm update. Anyone who knows more feel free to elaborate, but the situation is resolved.
