Fresh run of example, runs into parsing error

[wildseansy]

I trying to check this project out, and ran through these directions in the README.md

cd react-native-widget-sync 
yarn
cd example
yarn
npx expo prebuild

...but the npx expo prebuild command results in the following error

✔ Created native directories | reusing /android, /ios
› Using current versions instead of recommended react-native@0.74.3.
✔ Updated package.json | no changes
» android: userInterfaceStyle: Install expo-system-ui in your project to enable this feature.
✖ Prebuild failed
SyntaxError: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: Expected "(", "\"", "{", or [0-9] but ";" found.
SyntaxError: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: Expected "(", "\"", "{", or [0-9] but ";" found.

I was wondering if this is a new issue, or if you knew how to recover from this. I'm on an M1 Macbook
