Problem description

Expo seems to have deprecated Electron support, so it's been extremely hard for me to figure out how to add Electron support to my current Expo app (with TS in my case).

This would be a good opportunity to add some documentation/examples on how to setup electron-forge into an existing Expo application.

Proposed solution

Add documentation/examples for how to setup 'electron-forge' with a current Expo app (i.e., using babel to transpile like Expo does for web, how to handle typescript, etc.).

Alternatives considered

I've looked into @expo/electron-adapter and electron-webpack, but both of those projects are old and not maintained anymore.

I've also tried to use electron-react-boilerplate as reference to manually setup electron into my Expo project, but without success.
