You can use --version 0.68.2. [ react-native init MyProject --version 0.68.2 ]
It worked for me.
Discuss here #34055

[NikitaDudin]

npm remove -g react-native react-native-cli

npx react-native init AwesomeProjectName

[liresky]

npm remove -g react-native react-native-cli

npx react-native init AwesomeProjectName

not ok.

[liresky]

yes 0.68.2 is ok. close this.

I had this issue with react-native@0.71.8 too.

Removed global react-native and react-native-cli packages.
Used --version in init (npx react-native init project --version 0.71.8)

Both did not work, then I looked at the RN documentation that says this.

npx react-native@X.XX.X init AwesomeProject --version X.XX.X

So I tried
