So am I currently learning React Native by following app clones, such as Instagram, YouTube etc. I have just started an AirBnb clone, but upon project creation, I am running into some issues with the initial build.

The first thing I noticed was in 'App.js', the template file for the app seems to be trying to use TypeScript inside a normal .js file. (I've never really used TS, so not sure if this is possible, or I'm just being stupid...) - see this screenshot for clarity. My understanding is the .js file is trying to import a type ('Node' as seen in the image) but surely it has to be a .ts or .tsx file? I haven't changed any file extensions, this is how it came in the template when I initialized the project.

Anyone got any ideas?

Ah. It's not Typescript. If you look in the comments you can see @flow strict-local. I've never used it, but you can check it out here: https://flow.org/en/docs/

ah that makes sense - although, when I hover over the red underline, it says " 'import type' declarations can only be used in TypeScript files' ". Do you reckon this is something of concern?

This is not typescript, it is flow. You can check the documentation here, you will find the line which is imported: https://flow.org/en/docs/react/types/
