Expo: app.json is used instead of exp.json

[brentvatne]

See react-community/create-react-native-app#114 for the actual error raised. The project has both app.json and expo.json, and having app.json used instead of expo.json is causing problems.

I think we may want to try to standardize on app.json? Or try merging the keys in both?

Today, I am trying to publish a demo app and facing lots of confusion between exp.json and app.json

IMHO - lets keep app.json. because when I used CRNA, it create app.json.
And all the keys inside exp.json, can be moved inside "expo" key of app.json !!

that's the plan, we will remove exp.json and replace it with app.json likely in the next release

The template projects now default to app.json. It'll be some time before we can deprecate exp.json fully, but this should resolve the issue for new projects.
