@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 #26285 (comment)).

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": "*",
    "@testing-library/react-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": "*",

I have the same problem, but with some additional dependencies added:

Node           : 20.11.0
OS             : darwin-arm64
Native Target  : aarch64-macos
yarn           : 1.22.22

nx                 : 19.8.4
@nx/js             : 19.8.4
@nx/jest           : 19.8.4
@nx/linter         : 19.8.4
@nx/eslint         : 19.8.4
@nx/workspace      : 19.8.4
@nx/cypress        : 19.8.4
@nx/detox          : 19.8.4
@nx/devkit         : 19.8.4
@nx/eslint-plugin  : 19.8.4
@nx/expo           : 19.8.4
@nx/react          : 19.8.4
@nx/react-native   : 19.8.4
@nx/rollup         : 19.8.4
@nx/storybook      : 19.8.4
@nrwl/tao          : 19.8.4
@nx/web            : 19.8.4
@nx/webpack        : 19.8.4
nx-cloud           : 19.1.0
typescript         : 5.3.3

These are added to dependencies:

    "@nx/devkit": "*",
    "@nx/eslint": "*",
    "enhanced-resolve": "*",
    "metro-resolver": "*",
    "node-fetch": "*",
    "picocolors": "*",
    "ajv": "*",
    "chalk": "*",
    "glob": "*",
    "ignore": "*"

Is the recommended advice just to exclude these? Like @guillempuche these things seem to populate from nowhere.
