✔ Check Expo config for common issues
✔ Check package.json for common issues
✔ Check dependencies for packages that should not be installed directly
✔ Check for common project setup issues
✔ Check for issues with metro config
✔ Check npm/ yarn versions
✔ Check Expo config (app.json/ app.config.js) schema
✔ Check native tooling versions
✔ Check for legacy global CLI installed locally
✔ Check that native modules do not use incompatible support packages
✔ Check that native modules use compatible support package versions for installed Expo SDK
✔ Check that packages match versions required by installed Expo SDK

@lander854 can you try to update your project dependencies npx expo install --check?

[Alex1899]

hey @lander854 I get the same issue. Were you able to solve this? @szdziedzic npx expo install --check didn't help in my case

[lander854]

@szdziedzic tried that, turns out the issue is because project is in a monorepo and expo CLI doesn't copy nested files, like iOS/PROJNAME/*

[makbeth]

@lander854 have you managed to fix that? And how?

[lander854]

@makbeth what I did was move the project outside of the monorepo, seems like expo EAS is doing a shallow copy when used in a monorepo, missing some deep nested files
