React Native Or Expo? Both.
summary
Expo manages the native layer so JavaScript-only apps upgrade by changing JS APIs while ejecting produces native iOS/Android projects in minutes. Expo publishes JS and assets to S3/CloudFront via expo publish, supports release channels, rollbacks and OTA via expo updates, and offers server-side push through a hosted endpoint if you upload APNs/FCM credentials. The SDK includes camera, file system, WebGL (used with tensorflow.js), Snack for quick sharing, and an upcoming development client plus a build service that runs one command to produce signed binaries and tester-friendly preview URLs.
