React Native failed ios build @react-three/uikit

[slyduda]

Getting Unable to resolve "@pmndrs/uikit/internals" from "node_modules/@react-three/uikit/dist/container.js" when building for ios with expo. When installing @pmndrs/uikit my react native project gets stuck at Pod install. I have seen others successfully use the package without @pmndrs/uikit as is also explained in the docs. Is this a known native issue?
