I am also facing this problem,

here, this command is work for me

npx create-expo-app@latest app-name --template https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/main/templates/blank

If you want a blank template use this,

npx create-expo-app@latest app-name --template https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/main/templates/expo-template-blank

Other option templates is here,
