eas build android failed for me, and it said I had an outdated version of EAS cli.
When i run npm install -g eas-cli, I get this inexplicable error message:
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry/eas-cli/-/eas-cli-2.7.1.tgz - not_found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 ‘eas-cli@https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry/eas-cli/-/eas-cli-2.7.1.tgz’ is not in this registry.

i’m not sure what “skimdb” is but this looks like an npm problem, possibly with your config

any suggestions?

See if there’s anything weird in the output of npm config list
