Hi I was trying to implement react-native-augment with react-native app which is connected with expo , while implementing react-native-augment the android folder is not present in the react native app's root folder , so that how to do those steps with expo ? Steps to be followed http://developers.augment.com/react-native/

I want to add TouchID / FingerprintScanner support to an app that I'm developing with React-Native@0.54+ and all packages that I use I cannot link the dependencies to it via react-native link (or even without package-name...). I'm running it via 'create-react-native-app' and using Expo Client. Any thoughts / help? i think you shoud detach expo. working with Expo gives you lots of benefit... but deeper you want to achieve, Expo will make you struggle. I suggest you to deatch Expo and work with libraries like https://github.com/naoufal/react-native-touch-id or https://github.com/hieuvp/react-native-fingerprint-scanner

I need some clarify of the difference between create-react-native-app then detached and react-native init. I understand that the former one will create an app based on the expo and later require detached to expose the native code of android and iOS for native code implementation. The react-native init will generate the native code at the same time. Are there any difference after detach from expo after created from create-react-native-app command, compared with react-native init? The only significant difference is that you still depend on the Expo SDK. From the website: We call this "detaching" because you still depend on the Expo SDK, but your project no longer lives inside the standard Expo client. You control the native projects, including configuring and building them yourself.

From the Expo website Expo lets web developers build truly native apps that work across both iOS and Android by writing them once in just JavaScript. Isn't this what React Native does? What's the difference? I work at Expo! When you write code in Expo (abbr. XDE ), you write React Native code. Expo has two main pieces: 1) XDE : a developer tool for creating projects, viewing logs, opening on your device, publishing, etc. 2) The Expo client: an app on your phone that lets you open your projects while you're working on them, without needing to go through XCode or Android Studio , and also lets other people view them too! And if you publish it through XDE , people can access it at any time through the Expo client. Lastly, we also make it possible to build standalone apps so people don't have to use the Expo client to open it, and you can distribute to the app store and play store if you like. So, Expo is a set of tools built on top of / ...

I've submitted my app for review to the Appstore connect. Although the app is still under review, i've received an email to inform me that i have to fix an error. Here is the content of the message : Dear Developer, We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app XXXXX.
