In my company we use Jfrog Artifactory as a proxy for all our npm packages, and I don't know if that is the limiting factor, but the @latest version gives, and has always given me, "Invalid Version: latest", so I would prefer if you kept this guide for initializing specific RN versions with the CLI.

You can also start a project with a custom React Native template with the `--template` argument, read more [here](https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/main/docs/init.md#initializing-project-with-custom-template).
