EAS build error when reaching "install dependencies" - firebase

Question

I've started using react native with expo not long ago so I am a bit lost.
When trying to build the application with the command:
eas build --profile development --platform android
The build fails when it reaches the install dependencies part

I have tried clearing the cache and rebuilding the app. When I try npx expo start --dev-client the app works fine.
This is my package.json:

Answer 1

I come a cross the same issue today while building for production. I solved with installing dependencies by:
yarn install
After that eas switced to yarn instead of using npm to install the packages. Hope its works for you.

Answer 2

After digging into the specific missing or conflicting dependencies, I managed to fix the issue by:
deleting node_modules (from terminal) with rm -rf node_modules.
update react to version 18.1.0
Install react-dom 18.1.0
After all that, I managed to build the app with EAS, but after I launched it, it instantly crashed with no errors on my device.
after debugging my device errors by connecting it to my PC,
I saw that some of my expo dependencies are not updated, so I used the following:
expo doctor --fix dependencies.
After that, the app was finally. launching correctly
Thank you, #Kaosc, for leading me to this fix.
Some of the things above might not be connected, but that's what I did.

Answer 3

I did this in my terminal in the root of my project:
expo doctor
It gave me this:
Expected package #expo/config-plugins#^5.0.2
Found invalid:
#expo/config-plugins#4.0.6
(for more info, run: npm why #expo/config-plugins)
Some dependencies are incompatible with the installed expo package version:
- expo-status-bar - expected version: ~1.4.2 - actual version installed: 1.2.0
- expo-updates - expected version: ~0.15.6 - actual version installed: 0.11.7
- react - expected version: 18.1.0 - actual version installed: 18.2.0
- react-dom - expected version: 18.1.0 - actual version installed: 17.0.1
- react-native - expected version: 0.70.5 - actual version installed: 0.70.6
- react-native-reanimated - expected version: ~2.12.0 - actual version installed: 2.13.0
- react-native-safe-area-context - expected version: 4.4.1 - actual version installed: 3.3.2
- react-native-screens - expected version: ~3.18.0 - actual version installed: 3.10.2
- react-native-web - expected version: ~0.18.9 - actual version installed: 0.17.1
- react-native-webview - expected version: 11.23.1 - actual version installed: 11.15.0
Your project may not work correctly until you install the correct versions of the packages.
To install the correct versions of these packages, please run: expo doctor --fix-dependencies,
or install individual packages by running expo install [package-name ...]
Then I did this:
expo doctor --fix-dependencies
Then I go this and no more errors:
Expected package #expo/config-plugins#^5.0.2
Found invalid:
#expo/config-plugins#4.0.6
(for more info, run: npm why #expo/config-plugins)

This command is being executed with the global Expo CLI. Learn more: https://blog.expo.dev/the-new-expo-cli-f4250d8e3421
To use the local CLI instead (recommended in SDK 46 and higher), run:
› npx expo install

Delete package-lock.json and try again
