Thanks for providing a reproducer.
The issue is that the linked project is not a valid RN project.

Specifically you have a peerDependency on RN 0.41:
https://github.com/maniac-tech/react-native-expo-read-sms/blob/ceb1eaca2a2b309724e64b9d4bd964206c26f510/package.json#L17-L19

That's how the package.json of a RN project should look like:

react-native/template/package.json
