It ships with additional tooling around building and submitting your app to app stores, running your app while in development on your phone deployed via qr code, and a web based playground for quick prototyping and collaboration with others like a stackblitz type thing. It also comes with a number of apis for accessing the native maps, notifications, camera and gyroscope and other sensors, surface to draw with openGL/Skia and honestly a ton more.
I don’t know why you wouldn’t use expo if you are using react native. I’d feel like you were missing out on a lot
Thank you. So this is useful if you write your backend in react native? I’ve experience building apps in Android but not in react native. I want to build a react native app for Android and iOS.
I have experience with this and I still firmly dislike React Native. I am currently using Flutter, but am looking forward to Kotlin Multiplatform improvements which will soon also be available on the 3 platforms
