Babel not converting TypeScript in Expo

Question

I'm trying to upload Cloud Functions to my Firebase console. My app runs fine on Expo but when attempting to upload, I think my code tries compiling and throws this error:

Error: Error occurred while parsing your function triggers.

<root_project_directory>\node_modules\react-native\Libraries\Utilities\warnOnce.js:15
const warnedKeys: { [string]: boolean } = {};
      ^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Missing initializer in const declaration

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1171:10)

This seems to be an issue with Babel not recognizing typescript and converting it to javascript but I'm not sure how to fix it. I tried installing @babel/plugin-transform-typescript and @babel/preset-typescript separately but neither worked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Found the problem. This is an error thrown when you attempt to require('react-native') in node. Removing this statement fixed the problem.
