heroku build fails because of "Outdated Yarn lockfile"

[maplesteve]

Either the yarn.lock has to be updated or the yarn option --frozen-lockfile has to be left out.

 !     Outdated Yarn lockfile
       Your application contains a Yarn lockfile (yarn.lock) which does not
       match the dependencies in package.json. This can happen if you use npm
       to install or update a dependency instead of Yarn.
       Please run the following command in your application directory and check
       in the new yarn.lock file:
       $ yarn install
       $ git add yarn.lock
       $ git commit -m "Updated Yarn lockfile"
       $ git push heroku master

Can you try deleting your node_modules and yarn.lock then reinstalling?

I didn't do this local - I just hit the "heroku Deploy" button from the Readme, entered the required info and clicked "Deploy app". During the build on heroku the above error was shown.

Gotcha, I think I know what needs to happen. Reviewing.
