What

This is a clone of expo's bare minimal template which includes a minimal setup for using unimodules with React Native. Additionally, this template includes react-native-tvos support to use with your expo based React Native TV projects.

Why

When you run expo run:android command, expo checks your project root if android folder is there to build your project. If the project doesn't have native code, it runs prebuild function to clone and extract the prebuilt project files by using expo-template-bare-minimum template. Because the original expo template's native android project built with the latest react-native package, the CLI is going to update your package.json file with react-native@LATEST_VERSION and put the native project accordingly. THEN YOUR PROJECT WILL BREAK!

Solution

Use this template as a prebuilt template.

How

Update your eas.json file to modify your prebuild command:

``
"prebuildCommand": "prebuild --template https://github.com/abdullahceylan/expo-template-bare-minimum-tvos --no-install"
``

That's all!
