I’m sorry to say that I couldn’t reproduce the issue either.

my-app % node --version
v12.16.1
my-app % yarn --version
1.22.4

Here are a few things that have worked for me in the past:

Upgrade Node.

Depending on your setup, the below commands may or may not require sudo. The following worked for me.

sudo npm install -g n
npm cache clean -f
sudo n stable
sudo npm update -g
node -v
npm -v

Re-install Yarn Package Manager:

brew reinstall yarn

Install the Xcode toolkit.

xcode-select --install

Reset the Xcode toolkit.

sudo xcode-select --reset

Reinstall Xcode from Apple’s Website.
