How to overcome ERESOLVE errors within EAS build for native-base and Expo?-CodePudding

I have got the following package.json file. Main purpose is to use Expo 44 with native-base (version ^3.0.0). I could not figure out why such an obvious combination does not work. (Could not find online for native-base, which Expo versions are recommended either.)

package.json:

{
    "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
    "scripts": {
        "start": "expo start",
        "android": "expo start --android",
        "ios": "expo start --ios",
        "eject": "expo eject",
        "test": "node ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --watchAll"
    },
    "dependencies": {
        "@expo/samples": "2.1.1",
        "@expo/vector-icons": "^12.0.0",
        "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage": "~1.15.0",
        "@react-native-community/datetimepicker": "4.0.0",

        "expo-apple-authentication": "~4.1.0",
        "expo-application": "~4.0.1",
        "expo-asset": "~8.4.5",
        "expo-auth-session": "~3.5.0",
        "expo-av": "~10.2.0",
        "expo-facebook": "~12.1.0",
        "expo-font": "~10.0.4",
        "expo-haptics": "~11.1.0",

        "expo-sharing": "~10.1.0",
        "expo-tracking-transparency": "~2.1.0",
        "moment": "^2.24.0",
        "native-base": "^3.0.0",
        "react": "17.0.1",
        "react-native": "0.64.3",
        "react-native-gesture-handler": "~2.1.0",
        "react-native-modal-datetime-picker": "^8.6.0",
        "react-native-picker-select": "^8.0.0",
        "react-native-progress": "^4.1.2",
        "react-native-progress-circle": "^2.1.0",
        "react-native-safe-area-context": "3.3.2",
        "react-native-svg": "12.1.1",
        "react-native-view-shot": "3.1.2",
        "react-native-webview": "11.15.0",
        "react-redux": "^6.0.0",
        "redux": "^4.0.1"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "babel-preset-expo": "9.0.1"
    },
    "resolutions": {},
    "private": true
}

Even though all the local debugging and simulator runs work without problem, when the EAS try to build, following errors (coming from npm) are seen.

How to overcome this problem, any ideas?

Chronology:

native-base was added into the project back in 2019, with "^2.10.0" version.
When upgrading to "expo": "^44.0.0" it required the native-base to be upgraded also, around 2021-12.
At 2021-12, native-base is upgraded to "native-base": "^3.0.0"
It was working up until recently, including EAS builds.
Just recently, after 2022-02-12, for some other purposes we updated our code, nuked the node_modules and we were republishing via EAS build and submit. But even though the "native-base": "^3.0.0" entry in the package.json did not change, the npm step in the EAS servers started to fail.

Other Info:

which build of the expo is failing android or ios.

ios

commands you are using to build.

eas build --platform ios --non-interactive

which package manager are you in this project ? yarn or npm.

I use yarn but eas build seems using npm

any other things which will be useful to replicate this error.

Unfortunately I don't have any other clue.

CodePudding user response：

It seems native-base searches "react-dom": "*" and could not find it so somehow uses "react-dom": "17.0.2" and it in turn looks for "react": "17.0.2" which conflicts with expo's "react": "17.0.1".

So adding "react-dom": "17.0.1" as dependency solved the problem. By this way "react-dom": "*" finds "react-dom": "17.0.1" which is dependent to Expo's version "react": "17.0.1". (Please let me know if this conclusion is wrong.)

Following are the ones related with native-base and these versions should be used otherwise the npm install fails for Expo 44:

        "react-dom": "17.0.1",
        "react-native-safe-area-context": "3.1.9",
        "react-native-svg": "12.1.0",
