> Why did you choose to use React Native if you weren't planning to use it for cross-platform purposes out of the box? Why not use swift or objective-c and then port to Android if there's customer demand?

There's lots of reasons someone might want to start with Expo while developing an app. If their team doesn't have native experience, it's far more accessible than needing to maintain a native stack (or two should they support Android).

It also supports the ability for OTAs out of the box, which allows them to be responsive to feedback / bugs / feature requests.

There's more to RN/Expo than "do you plan on releasing a cross-platform product at once". Even if their road map is "Apple now, Android later" the decision would still be justified.
