Unable to resolve module `@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault`

When creating a new react native project using the standard react-native init MyApp and running react-native run-ios for the first time I'm seeing the following error

error: bundling failed: Error: Unable to resolve module `@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault` from `/Users/chrisedgington/Development/ReactNative/SixNationsPredictor/index.js`: Module `@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault` does not exist in the Haste module map

This might be related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968
To resolve try the following:
  1. Clear watchman watches: `watchman watch-del-all`.
  2. Delete the `node_modules` folder: `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`.
  3. Reset Metro Bundler cache: `rm -rf /tmp/metro-bundler-cache-*` or `npm start -- --reset-cache`.
  4. Remove haste cache: `rm -rf /tmp/haste-map-react-native-packager-*`.

I've tried running the suggested but still see the same issue. I've seen a few posts about similar issues but nothing specifically seems to say how to resolve the problem in react-native.

macOS: 10.13.6 
node: 8.11.3
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.57.1

Have a go and try:

npm add @babel/runtime

Or upgrade babel runtime:

"@babel/runtime": "7.0.0-beta.55"

You should first quit the metro terminal before executing

npm add @babel/runtime
npm install

You should add and install babel for your projects

npm add @babel/runtime
npm install

If The error is not fixed, Try:

npm start --reset-cache

Try to update your npm version first

npm update -g npm@version or sudo npm -gf update npm@version

and then just add the babel runtime at your react native project

npm add @babel/runtime
