Support @bonfhir packages in Expo on Android devices

[nickvallee]

We are currently have an issue with loading bonfhir libraries on Android devices with the intent of using @bonfhir/gluestack-ui in Expo projects. In order to solve this issue, we need to discover how to make android compatible with one of the js engines.

Current error "Unexpected token '?'", without a stack trace.

What we know:

• the issue comes when we set jsEngine to jsc in the app.json of an expo project.
• using hermes is not possible. related issue Make @bonfhir/core compatible with react-native / hermes #139
• the issue is present when on simulator and physical devices
• bonfhir is es2022 and expo uses babel to transpile it to es5
• error is not present on android using v8, but v8 is not compatible with @bonfhir/query at the moment.

Funny thing - if I enable debug mode (by using Cmd+m), then the app is happy and it runs correctly. 😤

This somewhat makes sense as I just learned than when debugging, the javascript then run in the chrome browser and not the app shell - and since bonfhir runs OK in Chrome, this makes sense. Not a good lead though, just confirming that jsc is not great on Android RN.
