Problem:
When running the app locally as a developer, the welcome screen is shown but one cannot develop

Recreation:
Clone the app, and follow the readme instruction to run expo

Notes:
This issue seems likely related to our use of react-native-dotenv. We are using this package, and having the same experience described in a stack overflow post. This same post suggests using expos native env feature instead. To address this, we should roll-back the react-native-dotenv and any other changes that were directly added to support that specific attempt (babel packages/files?). Then proceed the new way
