Current Behavior

Detail and full reproduction is in the linked repo, but:

Init an empty repository with yarn 4 (making sure the output of yarn --version isn't 1.x.x)

Go through the "Getting started" guide here and here using yarn instead of npm.

Try running yarn cap run android and see the stack trace generated

Expected Behavior

I expect yarn cap run android to run the simulator, but it does not.

Additional Information

I've seen several ghosts of this same issue opened and closed in the past couple of years in this repo, basically since yarn 2, but a lot of them were hit-and-runs that never got resolved. Hoping the minimum recreation helps.

I'm running macOS 14.2.1.

Following up. Are you having an okay time with the reproduction? Lmk if you need more info, or if yarn support > v1 is not on the table at all. I've already downgraded to work around the issue so I'm not hurting over here. 👍
