[🐛] Expo eas build errors with 24.0.0

Issue

Trying to build our expo app using eas after a bump to 24.0.0 resulted in these errors:

build_log.zip

Reverting back to 23.8.6 fixes the build.

@ottob - Thanks for the report. the first hard failure is in @react-native-firebase/app-check on iOS, with RCTBridgeModule/RCT_EXPORT_METHOD modular-header import errors. That matches the existing prebuilt React Native iOS / static-linking issue already tracked in #8883 rather than a new 24.0.0-specific regression.

Please follow the workarounds collected on #8883:

• disable prebuilt React Native iOS core during pod install with RCT_USE_PREBUILT_RNCORE=0, or
• add the Podfile pre_install hook that forces RNFB* pods to build as static libraries

If you already have one of those workarounds in place and still hit this exact error on current versions, please post your Podfile and the first compiler error lines from the Xcode/EAS log on #8883 so it can be compared against the canonical thread.
