Adding Expo plugin for expo support without the bare workflow

[RichardLindhout]

🚀 Feature

Since Expo now supports plugins we could add support for react-native-navigation with ejecting expo. https://docs.expo.dev/guides/config-plugins/

Motivation

Easier building of apps with Expo EAS build Access to Expo ecosystem Less configuration of react-native-navigation

Pitch

A lot of users will come to react-native-navigation ecosystem because expo is the 'standard' now. Existing users will benefit with a lot less native configuration and easier building of app with EAS build.

Are you willing to resolve this issue by submitting a Pull Request?

Maybe, but I'm really short in time at the moment.

[RichardLindhout]

We could probably use the same functions as in https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/tree/616ceac1350e78c0b54dc55cc509efca9178736e/autolink/postlink

[RichardLindhout]

For example see mapbox example here: https://github.com/rnmapbox/maps/blob/main/plugin/build/withMapbox.js

I'm experimenting here: https://github.com/web-ridge/expo-expirement/blob/main/patches/react-native-navigation%2B7.28.0.patch

The expo application file differs much from the react native files so will need custom config changers. I'll stop the expirement now but it could work!

我在这里试验：https ://github.com/web-ridge/expo-expirement/blob/main/patches/react-native-navigation%2B7.28.0.patch

I researched this repo, and I didn't find that the registration method of expo is executed. This seems to be an implementation suitable for the web version, not a native implementation.

Is Wix interested in working with expo?
