• Created the app.config.js, which is a dynamic version of app.json - you can read more about them in the official guide. The file is evaluated when running yarn dev in native.
• Added the natDevHostname field to the "extra" config
• The field is supplied with local machine IP address

Depends on D6266

Open native yarn dev and run app (either physical device or simulator).
The following should work:

// in native app (e.g. in `root.react.js`)
import Constants from 'expo-constants';
console.log(Constants.expoConfig.extra.natDevHostname);

Ensured it displays local LAN IP of my MacBook.
