Here's What Our Clients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions About Expo
What is Expo and how does it simplify app development?
Expo is an open-source framework and platform for building universal React applications. It simplifies mobile app development by providing a suite of tools and services that abstract away much of the complexity of native development, allowing developers to write JavaScript/TypeScript code that runs on both iOS and Android.
How long does it take to build an app with Expo using MetaCTO?
Development time varies based on complexity, but Expo's rapid development capabilities can significantly speed up the process. MetaCTO's 90-day MVP service is designed to launch a functional app quickly. More complex apps will take longer.
Can Expo apps access native device features?
Yes, Expo provides access to a wide range of native device features like camera, location, notifications, and more through its SDK. For features not covered by the Expo SDK, you can use the bare workflow to add custom native modules.
What are the benefits of using Expo's Managed Workflow vs. Bare Workflow?
The Managed Workflow simplifies development by handling much of the native configuration and build processes. The Bare Workflow provides more flexibility and control, allowing for custom native code, but requires more native development knowledge. MetaCTO can help you choose the right workflow for your project.
How are Expo apps updated?
Expo apps can be updated through standard app store releases. Additionally, Expo supports Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, which allow you to push JavaScript-based changes directly to users' devices without requiring a new app store submission, speeding up bug fixes and feature rollouts.
Is Expo suitable for large, complex applications?
Yes, Expo is capable of handling large and complex applications. Its performance is generally comparable to standard React Native apps. MetaCTO has experience building scalable and robust applications using Expo.
Can I integrate third-party services and APIs with an Expo app?
Absolutely. Expo apps can integrate with any third-party services and APIs just like any other mobile or web application. MetaCTO can assist with these integrations.
What kind of support does MetaCTO offer after launching an Expo app?
MetaCTO provides ongoing support options, including maintenance, bug fixes, feature enhancements, performance monitoring, and strategic guidance to help your app evolve and succeed post-launch.
