What is the reason of removing dependencies in root package.json

[MohammadAzimi]

I'm following this repository for a while and I watched the changes, But I don't know the exact reason of doing some of them. For example:
in root package.json we had to add react and react-native as a dependency with the exact version number, some days later react-native version number changed to "react-native": "*", and now there is no dependency in the root package.json.
What is the logic and reason behind it?

I'm trying to fix #70 and release issues
And I think it's a good idea to enable GitHub discussion to ask some questions instead of opening issues for them like mine

when using Yarn Workspaces, we should not add dependencies to the root package.json if they are only used by the packages; we should only add them where they are directly used.

react-native in the root dependency is/was because of a bug in the react-native metro and this was/it a workaround.

I've enabled Discussions!
