Adopting Prebuild

[solokhind]

Hi, why doesn't ignite use expo's prebuild feature?
Upgrading expo sdk and react-native is time intensive and error-prone.
I'm planning on adopting it in my project, created with ignite. Please let me know if there is anything I should be aware of before I proceed. Thanks!

Hey @solokhind - we're actually discussing that internally some.

There is no reason why you can't adopt prebuild now or do the Expo Dev Client. You can look to this recipe, Pristine Expo Project to get you started!

Thanks for your quick response! I'll go ahead and work on adopting the prebuild, I do have some of my own native code so I'll have to keep using the bare workflow.

Sounds great! If you hit any snags that we should look into upstream, feel free to make an issue and even open a PR if you can!
