Help, I have a weird issue with my development when working on a react native project using expo.
I use VSCode for development and I use a separate cmd window to run yarn start to startup the metro bundler.
When the metro bundler starts I open the Expo Client on my mobile device or android emulator.
Then I open my project in VSCode to to begin editing.
The issue is that when I switch from Component1.js file to Component2.js while Component1.js is being rendered on the mobile device or emulator the entire app restarts during the fast refresh project.
I have tried to disable fast refresh and that is the only time the issue does not occur.
But I really cannot develop with the fast refresh feature turned on.
