Hello @yunnysunny,

The problem you are encountering is due to:

The registry URL in the .npmrc file is incorrect. It should be ""https://registry.npmjs.org"" instead of ""https://registry.npmjs.com"".

Please let us know if this resolves your issue. If the issue persists, please consider sharing a public repository to help diagnose the problem.
