Expo: The New Default for React Native
Expo is the modern, production-ready default for React Native, not just a tool for prototypes. Use it for new apps to get smoother upgrades, cloud builds, and over-the-air updates out of the box.
Expo has evolved from a prototyping tool into the recommended, production-ready framework for most React Native apps. It offers the bare CLI's flexibility via `expo prebuild` alongside a powerful managed workflow. Use it for new projects to get smoother upgrades, cloud builds with EAS, and over-the-air updates. The biggest footgun is choosing the bare CLI for 'control,' inheriting massive maintenance overhead that Expo's managed services already solve for you.
