You used npm.
So this is not a problem with yarn

npm install --save --save-exact react-native
Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/apple/.npm/_cacache/index-v5/c8/14'

Please close this issue and open a new one at npm.community or https://github.com/zkat/cacache/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc

I tried npm install --save --save-exact react-native and it works for me.

looks like you need admin/sudo privileges to run the command.

and like @DanielRuf said, this is not the correct channel.
