I don't think there's ready solution for this. I believe you will have to control access inside your app by yourself.

But the thing that is quite similar is publishing your app in expo environment by expo publish with privacy policy set to hidden https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/config/app/#privacy . Then you could get your QR code by accessing expo link (e.g. https://expo.dev/@community/native-component-list), which would be accessible only for users with right access to your project.
