Feature Request: Optional expo mobile app & packages

[oldbettie]

Describe the solution you'd like
Would be nice to add an optional package for an expo/react-native application.
This would even be a nohoist package that is handled separately but can use the other packages for less code duplication.

Edit:
turns out this is not overly complex to add.

• from the root dir run: pnpm create expo apps/mobile
• in turbo.json under build/outputs add , "node_modules/.cache/metro/**"
• in launch.json add

    {
      "name": "Expo: debug client-side (app)",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:3006"
    },

• in the new apps package.json add "dev": "expo start -p 3006" under scripts

This was enough to get expo running in the same pnpm dev command with everything else. I still need to test it more extensively

Edit 2.0
This breaks completely once you run pnpm i from the root of the repo. It hoists dependencies and I cant seem to get beyond this point or revert the change

+1 to add this

@oldbettie try setting node-linker=hoisted in a .npmrc file (recommended by Expo docs). I've had similar issues with getting an Expo app working inside a pnpm monorepo and this did the trick.

actually I did try that. Along with a few other things. I might have another shot this weekend at setting this up
