Typescript/yarn workspaces - Referenced project may not disable emit

I'm trying to setup a monorepo project using typescript and yarn workspaces.

The project's structure looks like this:

/example/packages  /lib1

Example is an app that used the packages, for development purposes.

When I use yarn tsc --build --force I get the following error:

example/tsconfig.json:6:18 - error TS6310: Referenced project '/packages/intro' may not disable emit.

Here's example's tsconfig.json:

{"extends": "../tsconfig.json","compilerOptions": {"outDir": "./lib"  },"references": [{ "path": "../packages/intro" }]}

And the one at the project's root:

{"$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig","display": "React Native","compilerOptions": {"allowJs": true,"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,"baseUrl": ".","composite": true,"declaration": true,"esModuleInterop": true,"isolatedModules": true,"jsx": "react-native","lib": ["es2017"],"module": "commonjs","moduleResolution": "node","noEmit": true,"paths": {"my-project/*": ["./packages/*/src"]    },"resolveJsonModule": true,"skipLibCheck": true,"strict": true,"target": "esnext"  },"exclude": ["packages/*/lib","node_modules","babel.config.js","metro.config.js","jest.config.js"  ],"references": [{ "path": "./example" }, { "path": "./packages/lib1" }]}

And the lib1's tsconfig.json:

{"extends": "../../tsconfig.json","compilerOptions": {"outDir": "./lib"  }}

As you can see I do have noEmit set to true so I don't understand what the error is about. I've tried setting the value directly in each tsconfig files but that didn't do anything as expected.
