I'm glad it works for you. One thing I've learned from bitter experience is "don't swim upstream". Meaning, you're likely to have problems when you're using tech outside the way it was intended. Apple intends apps to be developed in Swift with XCode, so that's what they support and when they develop new features that's what they have in mind. They don't care about Expo and if they do something that breaks Expo or Flutter or any other third-party service, that's not their problem and they aren't going to do anything about it. Expo et al are always going to be second class citizens to Apple.

Cocoapods are on their way out. I use Swift Package Manager on new projects and it's literally a couple clicks to install whatever package you want. Haven't had any problems yet.
