noch nicht = "up until now" (which is expressed in the use of the present perfect in English but necessarily in German)

"he has never eaten cheese before" where is the mistake?? Considering that duo suggests never before as translation for noch nie??
I don't agree with your translation : you skipped " noch" and translated " er hat nie Käse gegessen"
I wondered something similar. I wrote, "He has still never eaten cheese." and it was not accepted, I assume because Duo considers the "still" either redundant or superfluous here.

No, it considers it wrong.
noch nie means "never".
Not "still never".
Similarly, noch nicht means "not yet". It does not mean "still not" (= immer noch nicht).

He never has eaten cheese wasn't accepted, is there a difference I'm missing?
The word order feels a little strange for my personal dialect of English, but I think the meaning would be the same. Did you report it?
