STUCK Bundler cache is empty, rebuilding (this may take a minute)

Hi all!

I can’t solve the problem for a week now, I’m trying to run the eas build command for ios only. But there is a problem when doing the fastlane step.

It just hangs at a certain point, and after the time (45 minutes) it just breaks the build.

I’ll attach the screen.

At the same time, yesterday I tried to do the same with an empty project, and in 8 minutes it completely completed the assembly without errors!

I am using monorep.

// 2. Let Metro know where to resolve packages and in what order

Maybe someone has a solution to this problem?

hi there! if you have a mac, have you tried running your build locally? Troubleshoot build errors and crashes - Expo Documentation
