Absolute paths in react native version 0.72 typescript

Question

Hey Guys so I'm struggling to set absolute paths in react native I used babel-plugin-module-resolver for that and also set tsconfig.json and 'babel.config.js' as slowed below and VS code isn't giving any error about path but metro server throwing error like this

BUNDLE  ./index.js

error: Error: Unable to resolve module @pages/pokemons/pokemons from D:\Work And Stydy Of IT\ReactNative\RTKTS\src\App.tsx: @pages/pokemons/pokemons could not be found within the project or in these directories:
  node_modules

// tsconfig.json

{
  "extends": "@tsconfig/react-native/tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "paths": {
      "@app": [
        "app/index"
      ],
      "@app/*": [
        "app/*"
      ],
      "@services": [
        "services/index"
      ],
      "@services/*": [
        "services/*"
      ],
      "@pages": [
        "pages/index"
      ],
      "@pages/*": [
        "pages/*"
      ],
    }
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*",
  ]
}

babel.config.js

module.exports = {
  presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
  plugins: [
    [
      'module-resolver',
      {
        root: ['./src'],
        alias: {
          '@app': ['app/index'],
          '@app/*': ['app/*'],
          '@services': ['services/index'],
          '@services/*': ['services/*'],
          '@pages': ['pages/index'],
          '@pages/*': ['pages/*'],
          underscore: 'lodash',
        },
      },
    ],
  ],
};

Steps that I tried till now:

1. Delete node_modules and yarn.lock files and re install packages.
2. yarn start --reset-cache
3. Delete the old APK which is installed in an emulator.
4. again install everything.

Before posting this I tried a lot of answers which is available on Google and after that, I'm posting

I think the TypeScript configuration file and the babel.config.js file needn't index route name, in my case both configurations were like the following examples:

// tsconfig.json
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "paths": {
      "@api": ["./api"], // this is for importing index file
      "@api/*": ["./api/*"], // this is for importing other files underneath of the api folder 

// babel.config.js
module.exports = {
  presets: ['module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
  plugins: [
    'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
    [
      'module-resolver',
      {
        root: ['./src'],
        extensions: [
          '.ios.ts',
          '.ios.tsx',
          '.android.ts',
          '.android.tsx',
          '.ts',
          '.tsx',
          '.js',
          '.jsx',
          '.json',
        ],
        alias: {
          '@api': './src/api',
        },
      },
    ],
  ],
};

HINT: After the above configuration don't forget to reset your cache:

yarn start --reset-cache
