Summary

After upgrading to expo-sdk-46 i can’t run eas builds. Local builds work as expected.

By adding an entry (except @babel/core) to devDependencies and compiling with eas on the cloud or locally (--local option) produces the error output bellow.

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

Create app and add a dev dependency (e.g eas-cli or yarn-deduplicate).

npx create-expo-app bug-eas-cli

cd bug-eas-cli

expo-cli upgrade

yarn add -D eas-cli

Add dummy eas.json , e.g:

{
  "build": {
    "base": {
      "developmentClient": false,
      "env": {
        "NODE_ENV": "production"
      },
      "ios": {
        "cocoapods": "1.11.3"
      }
    },
    "development": {
      "distribution": "internal",
      "env": {
        "NODE_CONFIG_ENV": "dev"
      },
      "extends": "base",
      "releaseChannel": "dev"
    }
  },
  "submit": {
    "production": {}
  }
}

Run eas build

eas build --profile development --platform android --no-wait --local --clear-cache
