Importing react-native package when running Vite

I am new to Vite and Vitest. I am experimenting a little bit, trying to add Vitest to a React-native app. I know Vite doesn't really support React Native but I would like to trying running just the tests with Vitest. I get an error when trying to import React-native modules:

Module .../node_modules/react-native/index.js:14 seems to be an ES Module but shipped in a CommonJS package. You might want to create an issue to the package "react-native" asking them to ship the file in .mjs extension or add "type": "module" in their package.json.

As a temporary workaround you can try to inline the package by updating your config:

// vitest.config.js
export default {
  test: {
    deps: {
      inline: [
        "react-native"
      ]
    }
  }
}

When adding the suggested config the tests break inside React-native instead, as if the modules in fact is not supported. What is going on here? Is React-Native only published as commonjs modules, while only esm-modules is supported by Vite? Is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance,

M.
