π€ The Expo Debate: Why Some React Native Developers Opt Out π«
Expo has gained popularity as a framework to expedite React Native development.
But, I’ve noticed that not all developers are on board with it.
π‘ What are your thoughts on the Expo? Love it or leave it?
Here are a few reasons why some React Native developers might opt out of Expo:
Limited Native Module Support: Expo restricts the use of custom native modules, which could be a deal-breaker for developers needing deep native integration.
Dependency on Expo Services:
Some prefer full control over their projects and don’t want to rely on Expo services, which could introduce limitations.
Size Concerns: Expo apps tend to be larger due to bundled dependencies, and this can be a concern, especially for mobile app performance.
Customization: Expo simplifies development but may not offer the same level of customization as a traditional React Native setup.
Ejecting Complexity: The process of “ejecting” from Expo to a standard React Native project can be complex, leading some to avoid Expo from the start.
But, there are also great aspects to Expo that make it a top choice for many.
Let’s turn this into a constructive discussion. Share your thoughts, experiences, and reasons for using or avoiding Expo. It’s essential for our community to learn from one another!
