Description

I am using React Native 0.76, and whenever I try to use a FlatList, the same TypeError: property is not configurable issue arises. This time, I encountered the same error while using the GooglePlacesAutocomplete component, which internally uses FlatList or VirtualizedList to render suggestions.

Steps to reproduce

start React native project version v0.76
try to use Flastlist anywhere

React Native Version

0.76.2

Affected Platforms

Runtime - Android, Runtime - iOS

This seems to be caused by using loose: false for babel plugins.
A minimal reproducible example would be: https://github.com/mlazari/RN48332Repro/commits/main/
Not sure if it's a bug or it's just React Native not supporting loose: false. I personally don't use loose: false, but maybe there are some dependencies that require it?
@react-native/babel-preset uses loose: true by default: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/v0.76.5/packages/react-native-babel-preset/src/configs/main.js#L25 so this error is visible only when explicitly changing it to use loose: false.
