I can't use a symlinked package

Description

Hello everyone, after the new update of react native with version 0.72, and support for Symlink, I wanted to create a small project to test these features, but when importing a package created with lerna for a monorepo, I can't import it and use it correctly.

React Native Version

0.72.1

Steps to reproduce

First I create an empty folder
mkdir monorepo && cd monorepo

I create a react native app
npx react-native@latest init AwesomeProject

I start lerna
lerna init

I create new package with lerna
lerna create package1

I modify packages/package1/package.js with this code:

import React from 'react';
import { Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';

export const CustomButton = ({ onPress, title }) => {
  return (
    <TouchableOpacity onPress={onPress}>
      <Text>{title}</Text>
    </TouchableOpacity>
  );
};

I run react native in RN project (still without adding the lerna package)

/monorepo/AwesomeProject$ npm start
/monorepo/AwesomeProject$ npm run android

• The project runs correctly

I install my lerna package
/monorepo/AwesomeProject$ npm install ../packages/package1

I check that it has been installed in package.json

  "dependencies": {
    "package1": "file:../packages/package1",
    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-native": "0.72.1"
  },

I go to App.tsx and import the package:
import {CustomButton} from 'package1';

And I use it:

  <View>
    <CustomButton
      title="Press me!"
      onPress={() => console.log('Hello!')}
    />
  </View>

Screen error:

Reproduce the setup using the listed npm, React Native, and Lerna commands, then inspect the package entry at packages/package1/package.js and its import from App.tsx. Trace how the symlinked package is resolved by the Metro-based React Native app; done means the package can be imported and CustomButton renders without the reported failure.
