There was a problem hiding this comment.
The config validation is stricter now and the configFile option doesn't exist for typescript.

Summary
Some users have been getting a INVALID_PLUGIN_IMPORT error when building on expo, the error also happens when using the expo vscode extension.
Fixes #1915
This also updates the version of
react-native-builder-bobas I wanted to see if the latest version also creates those package.json files, but it does. I kept the version upgrade, but can revert if you prefer as it doesn't fix the issue.Motivation
react-native-builder-bobgenerates package.json files under the lib folder, which seems to confuse how expo resolves the config plugin. I went looking at other libraries that have an expo plugin and build using bob and found this https://github.com/zoontek/react-native-bootsplash/blob/master/package.json#L50.Testing
