Frequently Asked Questions About Expo

Expo is an open-source framework and platform for building universal React applications.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
