I'm trying to publish an Expo app to Google Play.
The app was originally built in Replit and has already been successfully published to the Apple App Store. I'm now trying to generate an Android App Bundle (.aab) using EAS Build.
Every Android build fails during dependency installation with:
We detected that 'artifacts/folk-bespoke' is a pnpm workspace

Running "pnpm install --frozen-lockfile"

WARN Ignoring not compatible lockfile at /home/expo/workingdir/build/pnpm-lock.yaml

ERR_PNPM_NO_LOCKFILE Cannot install with "frozen-lockfile" because pnpm-lock.yaml is absent
The repository structure is:
/
├── package.json
├── pnpm-lock.yaml
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml
└── artifacts/
└── folk-bespoke/
├── package.json
├── app.json
└── eas.json
Things I've already tried:
Added "packageManager": "pnpm@10.26.1" to both the root package.json and artifacts/folk-bespoke/package.json.
Confirmed pnpm-lock.yaml exists at the repository root.
Built from my Mac using eas build.
Built from GitHub.
Followed multiple fixes suggested by the Replit Agent.
The build environment still reports pnpm 8.7.5 and immediately fails before compiling the app.
Has anyone successfully built a Replit Expo workspace like this with EAS? Is this a known issue with pnpm workspaces or the way EAS detects the project root?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have absolutely no idea how I didn’t get a single fault 😂. Firstly, I went 23mph in a 20 but soon realised. Then, I wanted to restart my parallel park in a tight two way road, but since the traffic was building up, we abandoned that. Then I got asked 2 show me questions even though I did the first right 😂. I was blocking someone whilst reversing into a bay as my new manoeuvre.

So glad I passed, but have no idea how 😂
