Integrate Expo into Existing React Native App

[smontlouis]

We're planning to upgrade our current bare React Native application by integrating the Expo Dev Client. This change aims to simplify the app's setup process, making it more accessible for volunteers to contribute to its maintenance and development.

Objective:

• Facilitate a smoother setup and development process for volunteers.
• Leverage Expo Dev Client's features to improve the app's scalability and maintainability.

Steps:

1. Expo Installation: Set up Expo in the existing React Native app while ensuring compatibility with existing dependencies.
2. Expo Configuration: Configure the app to utilize Expo Dev Client, focusing on ensuring that existing features are not disrupted.
3. Testing and Debugging: Rigorously test the app in the Expo environment to identify and fix any issues arising from the integration.

Expected Benefits:

• Simplified development environment setup for new and existing volunteers.
• Improved efficiency in app testing and debugging.
• Enhanced collaboration and easier onboarding process for new contributors.
