Host key verification failed from github during install dependencies

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1

Managed flow, eas-cli/5.2.0 darwin-x64 node-v18.0.0 (Just upgraded to v49).

The build works fine locally, and expo-doctor succeeds, but the build server seems to be unable to connect to github to get react-native-community/push-notification-ios dependency.

I had this problem locally but I copied my public ed25519 key to my github account to fix it. I have no such control over the expo build servers, of course.

you can add an ssh key as described here: Use Git Submodules - Expo Documentation

but that shouldn’t be necessary to use this library! how do you have the dependency defined in your package.json? why not point to npm?

Good question! Here is a snippet from my package.json. I had the same issue building locally, and I’m not sure why.

...
  "dependencies": {
    "@azure/core-asynciterator-polyfill": "^1.0.2",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.1.6",
    "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage": "1.18.2",
    "@react-native-community/netinfo": "9.3.10",
    "@react-native-community/push-notification-ios": "react-native-community/push-notification-ios",
...
}

Ah! Not sure how this happened. My yarn.lock looked as below. I removed it and re-added it. Haven’t tried the EAS build yet, but this should help. Thanks so much!
