React native imo. Expo is terrific and the library ecosystem, while it might feel like it’s one step down from web JavaScript, is still robust enough for what you need since there are more than enough people out there shipping rn apps.

My only concern with Expo is once you're using it, you're going to get charged per user and per update. It's $0.005 per user per update (plus additional bandwidth and storage charges). So if you have 100K users, that's $500 per update. One update per month would be $6K per year. So you have to factor in the economics of your app.

There's nothing that requires you to use EAS Update though. You could just stick to submitting builds through the app store like normal.

Thanks for that. One more reason, if I needed one, not to go native at the outset.

I have no idea why you would pay that. Just eject.

Ejecting is an outdated concept when it comes to Expo for the past two years or so. The eject command in the cli is just an alias for the prebuild command even.

The way Expo builds your app these days let's you add native code as you want, modify your Gradle and pods files as needed, and you can still be on their managed workflow where you don't ever need to have Android and iOS folders in your repo. It's a really great time to be using Expo.
