Describe the Bug

We’re using a Github Action to install all depencies using npm ci and deploy to Chromatic. However, this Action is failing at the moment with the following error: npm ERR! @next/swc-android-arm64 not accessible from next Running npm ci on my local machine seems to work fine. I already tried to delete the package-lock.json and recreating it but the problem still persists. We’re using npm@8.1.2 maybe it’s related to that, it appears to work fine with npm@6

Expected Behavior

npm ci installs all dependencies without any issues

To Reproduce

• Create a Next Project with next@11 or next@12
• Use npm@8 on your local machine
• Run npm ci using Github Action

For those getting this error in their GitHub Action pipeline or other CI pipelines, make sure that your local version of npm matches the version used in by your workflow runner.

For me, I have to run the command npm i -g npm@latest in my GitHub Action .yml file to use version 8 of npm. You get this error @next/swc-android-arm64 not accessible from next if you are not running version 8 of npm.

Updating from 12.0.2 to 12.0.3 fixed the issue for me. 👍
