Cannot find `react-native-mmkv` when building `with-dev-client` for android

Description of the bug

Not entirely sure what’s the recommended way of running the with-dev-client example, but I get this error when trying to build android:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/victor/code/eas-monorepo-example/node_modules/react-native-mmkv/android/build.gradle' line: 163

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-mmkv'.
> Expected directory '/Users/victor/code/eas-monorepo-example/apps/with-dev-client/android/../node_modules/react-native/android' to contain exactly one file, however, it contains no files.

To Reproduce

What steps did you perform which led to this issue?

1. Run yarn with-dev-client android

Expected behavior

Android app builds, runs metro, and opens app in simulator.

Actual behavior

Full log here:

Just found this! I got a similar issue based on my previous setup (with the config plugin manually linking). Looks like auto linking works: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv/issues/218

Pinning this back to before all monorepo fixes did the trick, although it still needs to be manually linked into the Android project. (with the config plugin Axel made ❤️)
