Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rmdir

Question

I built an app in react native in Expo. After trying to make a build for google play store, I ran the command 'eas build --platform android' but I got the error saying ' Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rmdir 'C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\eas-cli-nodejs\cbb3100e-c845-4dda-8e44-8c0d7f74b4b5-shallow-clone' Code: EPERM'.

I have tried a lot of things but nothing works. I really need some help here.

I have changed the temp folder location from C drive to another drive but still getting the same issue — Ashish Sangwan, Apr 05 '22 at 18:08
I'm stuck with this exact issues and have also tried 100 things. Were you able to resolve this? — Cory, Aug 22 '22 at 17:59
Check your build 'dist' file there must be a 'Window-something' folder in it. I deleted that and npm install --legacy-peer-deps then it worked. — Sheikh Wahab Mahmood, Apr 03 '23 at 22:53

For me the problem is solved by adding "requireCommit": true to eas-cli version in eas.json. e.g.

  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 2.4.0",
    "requireCommit": true
  },

Adding the `"requireCommit": true` did allow me to launch the build. After a long while, I got another error message: ```× Build failed Android build failed: Unknown error. See logs for more information. ``` I don't know where the log file in questio is supposed to be... – Francis Jan 13 '23 at 16:39

Make sure you run this as Administrator. EPERM is a permissions issue.
