EAS CLI Network Failure on Windows: ECONNRESET During GraphQL Requests #3420
Description
Build/Submit details page URL
No response
Summary
What's broken:
EAS CLI fails whenever attempting to communicate with Expo’s API servers (api.expo.dev). All commands that require network communication (such as eas login, eas whoami, and eas build --platform android) fail with a read ECONNRESET error.
The failure occurs before a build is queued, preventing authentication and project uploads.

Downgrading Node versions (Node 24 → Node 20 LTS)
Clearing npm cache

Using EXPO_TOKEN authentication instead of login
Disabling IPv6
Using NODE_OPTIONS=--dns-result-order=ipv4first
Restarting the PC
Restarting the router
