I am really new to React Native, but I am familiar with React. I am interested in hearing the best ways of creating a new React-Native project and ways of publishing it to the app and play store, as well as pros and cons of each method.
I have tried two methods currently, create-react-native-app and building a new project through expo XDE.
With both these methods they run the app through the expo app in the Xcode simulator.
From what I understand developing through the expo app is great for the development process, but since its not being run completely "natively" on the ios simulator there is a process to make it a "Standalone" app and not just a expo app.
What are the most convenient ways to create a React-Native app that can be developed with keeping publishing to the app and play store in mind?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Another way to create a react native project with native code is react-native init project-name.
For that first you have to install react native by npm install -g react-native-cli
If you created the project in this way the app runs on Xcode simulator without expo app.
To run the app in ios simulator use react-native run-ios.
It automatically create the app as standalone app, no process is need to convert the app as standalone.
I have shared the information AFAIK.
