Duplicate Navigation Implementation

[RUKAYAT-CODER]

Description

Overview
The project has two conflicting navigation implementations causing confusion.

Background
The app uses both expo-router (file-based routing) and React Navigation (component-based). app/_layout.tsx imports SwipeableNavigation while App.tsx uses AppNavigator. This creates confusion about which navigation system is being used and adds unnecessary code.

Specifications

• Choose ONE navigation approach
• Recommended: use expo-router (modern Expo approach)

Tasks:

• Choose navigation strategy
• Remove duplicate navigation code
• Consolidate routing

Impacted Files:

• app/_layout.tsx
• app/(tabs)/
• src/navigation/AppNavigator.tsx
• App.tsx

Labels: architecture, priority-high

Hey, I have reviewed this issue and would like to take it up. Can I be assigned?
I will delete src/navigation/AppNavigator.tsx and App.tsx entirely, making expo-router in the app/ directory the sole entry point. Consolidate all routes into app/_layout.tsx using <Stack> or <Tabs> and migrate any logic from AppNavigator into these file-based layouts. Finally, update the root package.json entry point to ensure Expo defaults to the file-based system.
