Current Behavior

Consider a nx monorepo with one package.json (and node_modules) in the root folder and the actual app residing in apps/my-app. The app itself does not have a package.json, because dependencies are shared in the monorepo.

Capacitor itself supports nx and has functions to find the correct package.json in the root path. However, if I run npx @capgo/cli bundle upload it complains, that no package.json exist.

If I create a dummy package.json, the command runs, but then cap commands fail, because the capacitor plugins are in the root node_modules folder and thus no plugins are added on the native side.

Since it works with a dummy package.json, there seems nothing important to be read from package.json, so why is it necessary at all?

Expected Behavior

It should be aligned with capacitor in monorepos and run successfully in nx environments.
