Android Studio no syntax highlighting

Question

Okay, I've wanted to give React Native a try, did a fresh install of Android Studio 4.1.1 on my Ubuntu 19.10, bootstrapped a simple project via react-native CLI, opened it and instantly noticed that JSX highlighting is broken, google around, but the only thing I found is this link - https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000161950-JSX-Syntax-Highlighting-not-working

Tried to reboot, to create a new project from scratch, I did not load my PyCharm settings when installed Android Studio, have not installed any plugins yet. So yeah - any ideas how do I get my highlighting working?

UPD: code navigation also seems to be broken. May be I need to try other version of Android Studio...

UPD 2: Tried Expo with Typescript project setup, studio asked to install a plugins that supports tsx, then restarted and now even the comments are not supported lol.

Note that Android Studio does not have support for JavaScript. You may want to try IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition or WebStorm if you do not need to work with Java.
