Build fails with error "The --prefer-offline flag is deprecated; use the --cached flag with 'yarn add' instead"

[eitambelahousky]

Building using v26.0.19 produces the following error:

yarn.CMD process failed ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE Exit code: 1 Output: ➤ YN0050: The --prefer-offline flag is deprecated; use the --cached flag with 'yarn add' instead

Attached a sample to reproduce the issue. Just run "yarn" and "yarn build" and you should see the issue

Is the --prefer-online flag only for Yarn Berry or also changed/deprecated in Yarn 1?

[eitambelahousky]

--prefer-offline is a valid flag in Yarn v1 and deprecated in Berry
