Problem with initialize react native application

I want to create new app but upon running init I’m facing issue on first step – Resolving packages.

Command:
npx react-native init doggo --verbose

Error:

debug Installing template from react-native@latest
yarn init v1.22.19
warning The yes flag has been set. This will automatically answer yes to all questions, which may have security implications.

error Installing pods failed. This doesn't affect project initialization and you can safely proceed. 
However, you will need to install pods manually when running iOS, follow additional steps in "Run instructions for iOS" section.

As you can see, error says that react-native package doesn’t exist but it is in fact

    I’m noticing that your react-native version is: 12.3.6
    However, on the npm registry, the latest version is: 0.73.6

    Pulled this from the react native documentation:

    If you still have the old CLI installed try running:

    npm uninstall -g react-native-cli @react-native-community/cli

    as it may cause unexpected issues.

    Then try running

    npx react-native@latest init doggo --verbose

    If the issue still persists, I would specify the react-native version

    npx [email protected] init doggo --version X.XX.X

    With npx react-native <command>, the version of the CLI will be downloaded and executed at the time the command is run.

    if you install react-native >= 73 make sure you use node-v >= 18

    and try again

    npx react-native@latest init doggoapp
