null is not an object (evaluating 'RNNodeJsMobile.startNodeProject')

[chebyte]

Hello there I was trying to use nodejs with expo bare workflow but I'm getting error,

these are my steps

1- expo init project --npm --bare 2- npm install nodejs-mobile-react-native --save 3- cd ios/ && pod install 4- remove sample- to examples inside nodejs-assets/nodejs-project and run npm i 5- add the followgin to app.tsx

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  Platform,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  Button,
  View
} from 'react-native';
import nodejs from 'nodejs-mobile-react-native';

type Props = {};

export default class App extends Component<Props> {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { lastNodeMessage: "No message yet." };
    this.listenerRef = null;
  }
  componentWillMount() {
    nodejs.start('main.js');
    this.listenerRef = ((msg) => {
      this.setState({ lastNodeMessage: msg });
    });
    nodejs.channel.addListener(
      "message",
      this.listenerRef,
      this
    );
  }
  componentWillUnmount() {
    if (this.listenerRef) {
      nodejs.channel.removeListener("message", this.listenerRef);
    }
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Button title="Get Versions"
          onPress={() => nodejs.channel.send('versionsss')}
        />
        <Text style={styles.instructions}>
          {this.state.lastNodeMessage}
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  welcome: {
    fontSize: 20,
    textAlign: 'center',
    margin: 10,
  },
  instructions: {
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: '#333333',
    marginBottom: 5,
  },
});

after that I get the following error

Invariant Violation: "main" has not been registered. This can happen if:
* Metro (the local dev server) is run from the wrong folder. Check if Metro is running, stop it and restart it in the current project.
* A module failed to load due to an error and `AppRegistry.registerComponent` wasn't called.

I don't think expo supports native modules.

@jaimecbernardo It does now with expo-dev-client
