Environment:
"react": "16.6.1",
"react-native": "0.57.4",
"metro-react-native-babel-preset": "0.48.1"
To Fix my issue I had to downgrade to react native 0.56.1 and use babel-preset-react-native

What is the current behavior?
metro-react-native-babel-preset Unable to resolve module if imported from package.json like so "react-native-package": "file:../"

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.
The best way to reproduce my situation is to clone https://github.com/Traviskn/react-native-uuid-generator and use the newer version of react native in the example folder

What is the expected behavior?
Import the default object from react-native-package and use it

Please provide your exact Metro configuration and mention your Metro, node, yarn/npm version and operating system.
Node: 11.1.0
Npm: 6.4.1
MacOS Mojave

Probably related to
#257
#288
jestjs/jest#6993

Any fix is planned? This behaviour is very common.

Symlinks are not supported in node_modules until #257 is merged.

Using file: in your dependencies will create a symlink in your node_modules.
