We use appcenter.ms to build and deploy our mobile app.
This error began when I had to reconnect appcenter.ms to github using my account, the previous account was held by an employee who left the company.
When the build process runs yarn install, it 401s on the company's private repo.
yarn install v1.22.5

When I reconnected with my github, I had to rebuild the configuration (where you set the xcode version, .p12 cert, env variables, etc). I don't see any configuration options specific to github access or private repos there.
Is there a configuration step I'm missing, either on appcenter side or github?
I found the issue. Appcenter uses
.npmrcto authenticate via a Github personal access token. See this article:https://blog.theodo.com/2018/07/installing-private-npm-packages-appcenter-2/
https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-npm-registry#authenticating-with-a-personal-access-token
For me, this token had expired so I replaced it and that fixed my issue. If you're having similar issues, confirm that your
.npmrchas a good token.
