Workaround:

$ yarn add -D babel-preset-react-native@^4
$ react-native-git-upgrade
# then
$ yarn add -D babel-preset-react-native@^5

👋 there.
It seems that, as @yurtaev pointed out, your issue is related to babel-preset-react-native. As we point out in the Changelog, we recommend that you use the fixed versions for both the preset and babel.

Moreover, if you have issues with git-upgrade I also suggest that you keep an eye out on the rn-diff repo to make sure you update all the required files accordingly (example, in your info section you still have react 16.3 instead of 16.4).

Generally, if git upgrade fails I always do it manually by following the basic steps in the rndiff repo and then handle flow (if you are using it).
