Build errors with M1 architectures for simulators

There have been errors building with M1 architectures for simulators on iOS, with Error:

No such module 'ExpoModulesCore' 

See these discussions:

This plugin will NOT add the arm64 in Exlcuded_Archs, in SDK 50+ builds:

'"EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"'] = '"arm64"'

If you wish to add the above in configuration, you can add it with option:

  [
    "@morrowdigital/watermelondb-expo-plugin",
    { "excludeSimArch": true }
  ]
