Some of these issues don't apply to Exponent:

> if you have native libraries for x86 or arm 64 in your app it immediately breaks it completely

We handle all the native code for you, so you'll never hit this.

> half the examples and half the dependencies on the web out there crash immediately because they decided you have to import React and Component from "react" instead of "react-native" now

We support multiple React Native versions in our client app, so if you target an old version of React Native it'll keep running on that version even when we upgrade.

The redux 3 vs. 4 part is still an issue, but you should only hit it when you're specifically upgrading your app.

How do you handle that exactly?

I'd assume it means you have to use their api rather than directly import native apis.
