- * This cli config is needed for the coexistance of react-native and other

- * The following issue is tracked by
- * https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/issues/182
- *
- * The work-around involves having a metro.config.js for each out-of-tree
- * platform, i.e. metro.config.js for react-native and
- * metro.config.macos.js for react-native-macos.
- * This react-native.config.js looks for a --use-react-native-macos
- * switch and when present pushes --config=metro.config.macos.js
- * and specifies reactNativePath: 'node_modules/react-native-macos'.
- * The metro.config.js has to blacklist 'node_modules/react-native-macos',
- * and conversely metro.config.macos.js has to blacklist 'node_modules/react-native'.
