summary
Claims that Expo lets a project stay JavaScript-first while adding surgical native changes: it demonstrates development builds that produce reusable dev clients, a pre-build step plus config plugins that generate native projects from app.json, and EAS tooling — EAS update and EAS build — that run cloud builds, manage credentials, and push JS fixes in minutes. Examples include converting a repo to Expo modules, generating a dev client that works locally, and publishing per-PR QR updates that testers open instantly.
