i had same issue “Could not debug. The “path” argument must be of type string. Received type undefined”

resolved by removing
“outDir”: “${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/.react” and added “cwd”: “${workspaceRoot}” in launch.json

code sample:

{ “name”: “Debug Android”, “program”: “${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/launchReactNative.js”, “type”: “reactnative”, “request”: “launch”, “platform”: “android”, “sourceMaps”: true, “cwd”: “${workspaceRoot}” }, { “name”: “Debug iOS”, “program”: “${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/launchReactNative.js”, “type”: “reactnative”, “request”: “launch”, “platform”: “ios”, “sourceMaps”: true, “cwd”: “${workspaceRoot}” },
