PR Description
Bug fix for
@bottom-tabs/expo-template. A scaffolded app couldn't be run with the scripts the template ships:react-native-bottom-tabs.expo start --android/--ios→expo run:android/expo run:ios, andstart→expo start --dev-client.com.placeholder.appidfor both platforms, so every scaffolded app shares one package name. Addedcom.example.nativetabsplaceholders toapp.jsonplus a README note to change them.gitignorewas missing/androidand/ios, leaving prebuild output untracked but not ignored.Scripts, config, docs and a patch changeset only - no library changes.
How to test?
Scaffold from the template on this branch, as
create-expo-appwould:yarn workspace @bottom-tabs/expo-template pack --out /tmp/expo-template.tgz npx create-expo-app@latest /tmp/tpl --template /tmp/expo-template.tgz cd /tmp/tplnpm run android/npm run iosbuild and install a development build (previously opened Expo Go).npm startwaits for a development build instead of offering Expo Go.grep applicationId android/app/build.gradle→com.example.nativetabs.git init -q . && git add -A && git check-ignore -v android ios→ both ignored.Screenshots
