@nx/expo executor `sync-deps` add more dependencies than necessary

[guillempuche]

Current Behavior

I create a blank Expo project with Nx create with this package https://github.com/guillempuche/test-nx-expo/blob/main/apps/expo/package.json (Emily already fixed a problem https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/26285#issuecomment-2159343424).

The problem happens when running npm exec nx run expo:sync-deps from the root, it adds packages in dependencies that will be bundled in the app.

// apps/expo/package.json

{
  "name": "expo",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@testing-library/jest-native": "*",

    "android": "expo run:android",

  },

}

Expected Behavior

you can manually change sync-deps target:

    "sync-deps": {
      "executor": "@nx/expo:sync-deps",
      "options": {
        "excludeImplicit": true,
        "exclude": ["@nx/devkit", "@nx/eslint", "@nx/jest", "@nx/js", "@nx/react", "@nx/web", "@nx/webpack"]
      }
    },

I might miss something. Nx adds more than only Nx's plugins.

Why does it add these?

    "chalk": "*",
    "enhanced-resolve": "*",
    "fs-extra": "*",
    "metro-resolver": "*",
    "node-fetch": "*",
    "tsconfig-paths": "*",
