Does Convex work in a bare React Native app?

Im trying to add Convex to my app but I get this error:

error: Error: Unable to resolve module react-dom from /Users/krisidmisso/Work/Ignition/node_modules/convex/dist/cjs/react/client.js: react-dom could not be found within the project or in these directories:
  node_modules/convex/node_modules
  node_modules

  node_modules

I am not using Expo. Is bare React Native supported?

Convex still requires react-dom, just install it separately Or, rather, the convex react lib requires react-dom

thank you! it worked. I thought react-dom was only linked to web development

Convex react uses a single utility function in react-dom, there will probably be a better way in the future: https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1118905953656520724/1119292396618907738
