[BUG] iOS - Prebuild destroys all my Bare React Native CLI + Expo configurated projects codebase

[saintyoseph]

📋 Describe the bug
I'm using Bare React Native CLI, not Expo. But I'm configurated my RN project to use Expo packages because there are many helpful packages to solve my issues, just like this package. But when I run expo prebuild --no-install --clean command, all my codebase is changing and I lost all details of the project, such as; logo, splash screen, fonts, build/version number, and rest of all previous configurations. It resets and create almost a new project. But I just want to install Share Extension target and use it in my app. And when I just run "npx react-native run-ios" command, Share Extension is not installing. I can't see it in targets lists in Xcode.

🛠️ To Reproduce
Create a Bare React Native CLI project, configure it to use Expo modules just like told on Expo website.

💻 Expected Behavior
I just want Share Extension to be installed with a different command, without binded to Expo Prebuild commands.

📱 Screenshots or Videos

As you can see, it deletes so many files, and adds new ones. All my previous configuration goes.

This command should NEVER be run in a bare project...
