I have tried cleaning cache, deleting .expo, lock files and node modules folder. Reinstalling and upgrading node, expo cli and eas cli. This happened after I did expo upgrade from SDK 44 to SDK 47. Application works fine on expo start. Expo doctor did not find any issue. Here is the content of package.json file -

The above dev dependencies show you have an outdated expo-cli version. The current version for the expo-cli is 6.1.0.

I’d suggest uninstalling expo-cli completely. With the latest SDK (46 and above), you can use the local version of the CLI that comes with expo package. For more info on this, see: https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/expo-cli/

Also, remove expo-cli as a dev dependency from your project and then re-run the build again. You don’t need it as a dependency to your project.

In fact I’ve seen it causing problems for some people in the past. If you install it, install it globally. Not as a dependency or devDependency.

About the confusing nodejs version error message… I believe it actually means that the version of the “expo” command that you are using doesn’t support that version of node.js. The “no longer” is a bad assumption on the part of the person who wrote the error message. In this case it should rather be “yet” :slight_smile:

Yes, the no longer supported is tripping. I will share this feedback with the team and see if the error message can be improved. Thank you!
