Cannot build in scaffolded project (ERR_REQUIRE_ESM)

[tgrassl]

Description

When scaffolding a fresh project using the "JavaScript library" type and running yarn run prepare builder-bob fails with the following error:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/user/develop/esm-error/node_modules/arktype/out/index.js from /Users/user/develop/esm-error/node_modules/react-native-builder-bob/lib/build.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/user/develop/esm-error/node_modules/react-native-builder-bob/lib/build.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Packages
