React Native init project Linting error problem

Question

Hello I start a new fresh React-Native project using React Native CLI based on the official tutorial. My text editor is VS Code.

After project created, when Save the App.js file ==>

    Unexpected token (29:6)
  27 | const App: () => React$Node = () => {    
  28 |   return (    
> 29 |     <>    
     |      ^    
  30 |       <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />    
  31 |       <SafeAreaView>    
  32 |         <ScrollView

I replace <> with <React.Fragment> but then:

Unexpected token, expected } (76:13)
  74 | 
  75 | const styles = StyleSheet.create({
> 76 |   scrollView: {
     |             ^
  77 |     backgroundColor: Colors.lighter,
  78 |   },
  79 |   engine: {
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I messed around with eslint, babel preset, babel-eslint,... but the problem still persists (or I dont know something).

The project can compiled and run successfully on emulator. How can I fix this??

Thank you

EDIT:

This is code in App.js

import React from 'react';

  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  ScrollView,
  View,
  Text,
  StatusBar,

Took a bit to find, but the closing tag for the Fragment is incorrect.

Currently

<React.Fragment/>

Should be

</React.Fragment>

code

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  return (
    <React.Fragment>
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />
      <SafeAreaView>
        <ScrollView
          contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
          style={styles.scrollView}>
          <Header />
          {global.HermesInternal == null ? null : (
            <View style={styles.engine}>
              <Text style={styles.footer}>Engine: Hermes</Text>
            </View>
          )}
          <View style={styles.body}>
            <View style={styles.sectionContainer}>
              <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>Step One</Text>
              <Text style={styles.sectionDescription}>
                Edit <Text style={styles.highlight}>App.js</Text> to change this
                screen and then come back to see your edits.
              </Text>
            </View>
            <View style={styles.sectionContainer}>
              <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>See Your Changes</Text>
              <Text style={styles.sectionDescription}>
                <ReloadInstructions />
              </Text>
            </View>
            <View style={styles.sectionContainer}>
              <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>Debug</Text>
              <Text style={styles.sectionDescription}>
                <DebugInstructions />
              </Text>
            </View>
            <View style={styles.sectionContainer}>
              <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>Learn More</Text>
              <Text style={styles.sectionDescription}>
                Read the docs to discover what to do next:
              </Text>
            </View>
            <LearnMoreLinks />
          </View>
        </ScrollView>
      </SafeAreaView>
    </React.Fragment> // <-- fixed closing tag
  );
};
