Cannot find module 'ts-node/register'

[objectiveSee]

Describe the bug

Igniting a new app will fail with the following error. Specifically, it seems that npx expo install is run during Ignite's setup and that is the command which is failing. Re-running npx expo install will yield the same error. I was able to resolve this with a few alternatives:

Solutions:
a. Template should use old version of yarn, by adding key to package.json to pass yarn @1.x
eg. "packageManager": "[email protected]"
b. Add .yarnrc.yml with nodeLinker: node-modules
c. Use alternative to yarn ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Error: Error reading Expo config at ~/workspace/testapp/app.config.ts:
Cannot find module 'ts-node/register'
