transform-react-jsx-source not working on new react-native project

In order to get it to work, I need to create a babelrc with:

{
  "presets": ["react-native"],
  "env": {
    "development": {
      "plugins": ["transform-react-jsx-source"]
    }
  }
}

I can recreate this issue in React-Native 0.42, this is still a bug

sorry @thejameskyle :< I wasn’t sure how to respond to that when I saw it and then forgot about it because I just used the fix from the OP. still not really sure how to answer that – transform-react-jsx-source is included in the react-native preset, but it doesn’t work unless you add it manually to your babelrc after the preset. not super helpful but it’s all of the context I have a few months after the post
