Apparent size: 262,9 MiB after npm i -q --no-audit --no-save --production --unsafe-perm. I guess somehow aws4-axios installing react-native dependencies.

Hey @Sheryorov, thanks for reporting this.

What version of npm are you using?

Since v7, it will now install peer dependencies automatically: https://github.blog/2021-02-02-npm-7-is-now-generally-available/

You can disable this behavior by passing --legacy-peer-deps.
