What are the limitations of Expo?
Limitations
- Not all iOS and Android APIs are available.
- The SDK doesn’t support all types of background code execution.
- If you need to keep your app size extremely lean, the managed workflow may not be the best choice.
- Native libraries to integrate with proprietary services are usually not included in the SDK.
Is iOS Dev easier than Android?
It’s faster, easier, and cheaper to develop for iOS — some estimates put development time at 30–40% longer for Android. One reason why iOS is easier to develop for is the code. Android apps are generally written in Java, a language that involves writing more code than Swift, Apple’s official programming language.
What is the difference between iOS and Android development?
While Android apps are built mainly with Java and with Kotlin, iOS apps are built with Swift. The main difference between the two programming languages is that iOS app development with Swift requires writing less code and therefore, iOS apps coding projects complete faster than apps made for Android phones.
Should I do iOS or Android development?
For now, iOS remains the winner in the Android vs. iOS app development contest in terms of development time and the required budget. The coding languages that the two platforms use become a significant factor. Android relies on Java, while iOS uses Apple’s native programming language, Swift.
Why You Should not Use Expo?
Why Not Expo? The biggest perk of using Expo, is that you don’t have to touch native code. But if you are a native mobile developer or have native mobile developers on your team that is working on building a React Native app, do not use Expo.

Why shouldn’t you use React Native?
This double pass can wreak havoc if your app is data-intensive, and also prevents sharing of memory between Javascript and native. Another major drawback of using React Native is high initialization times. This is because any code written in Javascript needs to be parsed in the JavaScript Virtual Machine.
What are the features of Android SDK?

Are iOS or Android developers more in demand?
Should you learn Android or iOS app development? Well, according to IDC Android devices have more than 80% of the market share while iOS holds less than 15% market share. But when you get into the details, the market share of Android vs iOS are completely skewed depending on which particular country you are in.
What is bare workflow?
Bare workflow This is workflow where you use some of the Expo tools in a vanilla React Native app. Unlike in the managed workflow where you don’t touch the underlying native code directly, in this workflow the developer has complete control, along with the complexity that comes with that.
