Common Pitfalls in React Native Apps and How to fix them
summary
Practical failures and fixes: importing Expo Google fonts naively bloats a bundle to ~150 MB and crashes some Android phones, so import the exact font file; saving auth tokens in localStorage fails on devices — use react native async storage and JSON stringify/parse; HTML article strings require a renderer like render HTML to map tags to native Text/Image; conditional rendering must use booleans to avoid zeros or runtime crashes on real phones.
