react-native-template-typescript error

i’m trying to install RN with typescript template and i’m getting this error:

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/react-native-template-react-native-template-typescript: Not found".

an indeed https://registry.yarnpkg.com/react-native-template-react-native-template-typescript is returning

{"error":"Not found"}

react-native-cli has been deprecated for 4 years. It should be removed. You could install react-native or @react-native-community/cli globally (not recommended). Instead, the best way is to use npx. npx installs whatever package you ask it to into a temporary directory where it’s then run and removed. This is preferred, since it will use either a locally installed one in your project or it will use the latest version.

@SConaway well it seems the

npx react-native init AwesomeTSProject --template typescript

works fine

as far as i can see the link to fetch the template from, is constructed this way

https://registry.yarnpkg.com/react-native-template- + TEMPLATE_ARGS

so having react-native-template-typescript as arg for --template will produce an invalid url (the one in the error)
