Hi 👋 Thanks for creating the config plugin for Expo!
Why
We recommend developers use the
npx expo
command for any Expo SDK package. It uses local/versioned Expo CLI and is tailored for each SDK version because it installs compatible package versions depending on the SDK version.I saw your tweet about the config plugin PR and was going through the docs and thought this could be a nice enhancement. Sometimes, installing an Expo SDK package using
npm
oryarn
might lead to incompatibility between Expo SDK's version and the package's version. We (at Expo) also follow the same pattern for installation instructions so that developers do not run into this issue. Example: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/build-properties/#installationHow
By updating the command to install
expo-build-properties
package.
