Solution not building with New Arch on Windows

[joshholmes22]

Description

After creating a new React Native with Windows project using the new arch with the cpp-app template on Windows, after adding RNScreens, the solution doesn't build for Windows. The error is:

Building Solution: XamlLibMetadataProvider.g.cpp... ✖ Build failed with message C:\Users\joshh\coding_bootcamp\projects\zonal\rnScreenTest\node_modules\react-native\ReactCommon\react\runtime\ReactInstance.cpp(205,21): error C2511: 'void facebook::react::ReactInstance::loadScript(std::unique_ptr<const facebook::react::JSBigString,std::default_delete<const facebook::react::JSBigString>>,const std::string &)': overloaded member function not found in 'facebook::react::ReactInstance' [C:\Users\joshh\coding_bootcamp\projects\zonal\rnScreenTest\node_modules\react-native-windows\Microsoft.ReactNative\Microsoft.ReactNative.vcxproj].

Hey, thanks for the report. I'll close this ticket in favour of #2541. It reports slightly different stack trace but it relates to blocking build issues on windows.

@kkafar - just to highlight, that other issue is using UWP and windows old arch (shown in package.json) this is using the new arch

Hopefully the issues are the same though. Thanks!
