I left a few comments on the approach so we reduce the committed code for maintainability & a cleaner way to do this. This is mostly cosmetic, other than that, it's great work & we're on the right track!

Pull request overview
This PR introduces an automated “Expo beta” road-test path intended to validate upcoming Expo SDK beta releases (e.g., SDK 56) against the repo’s existing AndroidApp/AppleApp consumer builds before stable support is added.
Changes:
- Add a script to detect the latest Expo beta, generate
apps/ExpoAppBetafromExpoApp55, and (optionally) apply the detected Expo version. - Add a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to run Android + iOS road tests for the detected Expo beta and record success via an artifact marker / create issues on failure.
- Add new Android flavor and iOS scheme/target + build scripts for the “expobeta” consumer variants.

Summary
Implemented automated Expo beta validation in CI.
Added a scheduled/manual workflow that detects new Expo beta releases, generates a temporary ExpoAppBeta during the CI run, applies the detected Expo version, runs npx expo install --fix, and executes scoped Android and iOS brownfield road tests. The workflow skips beta versions that were already tested successfully, writes a markdown summary to the workflow run, fails when the road test fails, and creates or updates a GitHub issue when the demo app breaks.
