It will compile the TypeScript code from /packages/<package>/src/ into ESM JavaScript in /packages/<package>/dist/esm/.
These files are used in apps with bundlers when your plugin is imported.
Then, Rollup will bundle the code into a single file at /packages/<package>/dist/plugin.js.
This file is used in apps without bundlers by including it as a script in index.html.
Build and validate the web and native projects.
This is useful to run in CI to verify that the plugin builds for all platforms.
Check formatting and code quality, autoformat/autofix if possible.
