Considering this, how do you run a project Expo?
Viewing a Project on Your Phone

One may also ask, what version of react native does expo use? Expo SDK v35. 0.0 is out today and is based on React Native 0.59, the same React Native version as SDKs 33 and 34. SDK 35 introduces full support for iOS 13 and two of the new user-facing features it introduces: Dark Mode and Apple Authentication.
In this manner, should I use Expo for react native?
If this is not a big issue for you, then Expo may be the right choice. However, if your app requires a specific functionality and packages with native modules (written with native languages), it's better to go with Vanilla React Native.
How do I create a new project in Expo?
