Describe the issue

When I'm trying to build the project I run into the error

Unable to resolve "./RCTNetworking" from "node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Network/XMLHttpRequest.js"

Seems like the issue is node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Network directory has an RCTNetworking.android.js and RCTNetworking.ios.js but the metro.config.js can't find a corresponding file for web.

I have a dependency that makes my API requests with axios (that i access from my npm module / not directly from my app components/stores.

I've tried mocking out the RCTNetworking but can't seem to get anything to work. It will either not make the request or will fail with the same import error.

For instance if I do

if (moduleName.endsWith("RCTNetworking")) {
      return {
        filePath: require.resolve("identity-obj-proxy"),
        type: "sourceFile"
      }
    }

It hides the error on build but I can't make HTTP calls and gives me the following error when I try to make an API request

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'default')
    at XMLHttpRequest.send (XMLHttpRequest.js:527:7)
    at dispatchXhrRequest (xhr.js:195:13)
    at tryCallTwo (core.js:45:5)
    at doResolve (core.js:200:13)

    at adapter.js:8:71
    at tryCallTwo (core.js:45:5)
    at Axios.request (Axios.js:45:41)

Expected behavior

Would expect to compile and be able to make API requests.

Steps to reproduce

1. npx expo start --web -c

"react-native": "0.74.2",
"expo": "^51.0.0"
