Introduction to Cross‑Platform Development with React Native and Expo
summary
Introduces using React Native with Expo to build cross-platform apps entirely in JavaScript by developing in the Expo client, distributing releases via Expo’s cloud build service, and delivering JS updates Over-The-Air. Explains that Expo brings an updated Android JS runtime (fixing stale JSCore), supports Hot Reloading for fast iteration, and is well suited for prototypes, viewer/news apps and features provided by the Expo SDK. Notes limitations: you cannot add custom native modules and long-running background processing (persistent music/recording) is not supported.
