I'm developing Mobile App for IOS and Android and using the Expo platform during development. In this way, simply with a QR code, I can test the application in seconds for both devices Android and IOS.
I'm going to implement OneSignal Push notification for my React-Native Expo project, But before doing that I want to be sure that I can keep using "expo start" command and develop applications easily instead of building on Android Studio or XCode.
Is it possible to test OneSignal push notification with Expo?
It should work. I have used Google Firebase for expo notification which worked fine in devlopment.
I didn't work with One Signal. But according to their docs it should work with expo. Check out more here
Found the Answer deep inside of https://docs.expo.io/introduction/why-not-expo/

I want to implement google sign in expo app.
But while reading doc, it says expo-google-sign-in cannot be used in Expo Go. but it only works for standalone Expo apps
https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/google-sign-in/#usage-with-firebase
I don't understand what this means.
I have created expo app using expo init command.
Is this standalone app or Expo go?
Please let me clear about this.
Wild guess here :
Expo Go is an app where you can test your app in it (when you scan the QR Code after expo start, your app is launched inside Expo Go app).
Standalone Expo app is your application when you upload it on the store.
I had the same issue for notifications : inside Expo Go app, notifications didn't work for my app but when I uploaded my app on the AppStore, notifications worked fine.
I used to run expo build:android (or ios) to build and publish my react-native application.
The app in the app store automatically updated doing this.
Since I updated my expo version to 38.0.8 it doesn't seem to be working anymore?
Does anyone know what's the problem here?
Generally you have to run
expo build:ios(or android)
to generate an expo build, and then run
expo upload:ios(or android)
to upload to the App Store or Google Play Store
I am trying to link my react native app with the iOS calendar. My app runs on expo and uses the react-native-calendar-strip. I've been searching to see how to make a start but not quite sure.Could you please guide me on how to do this?
below is the package that I used

I have build an app using react native(detached) but the thing is I would want to completely get rid of Expo. The reason is, what if one day EXPO service get shut down or no more supported.
So in this case I would not want the app to be affected.
Currently I need to publish my app thru ExpoKit to see the latest changes, how would I build my android app so it would not have any reference to Expo but still be able to work properly
Currently this is how I understand how the react native and expo works: first u build ur app using react native code and then a bundle.js is generated somewhere on cloud(EXPO) using publish command so the app communicate with that bundle.js.
Note I am not using any feature from Expo so why would I need Expo in this case?
Edited: If I am detaching my app from expo, I mean why would I still need Expo? Can't I just build the app and run the app without expo at all?
You can build your whole application without using expo, just follow the steps from facebook documentation in "Building Projects with Native Code" tab.
or
you can run "npm run eject" in your project root directory folder.
After this, you can build your appliaction using react-native cli commands, like
react-native run-android.
edited :--
For building apk for production, you can follow steps given in facebook documentation as generating signed apk and for released IPA for iOS yo can follow building your app for production for IOS.
Can I use any other app instead of Expo to run react native app?
Expo is not compatible with my phone.
Yes, you can use the way suggested in the react-native docs under using a real device. You'll need adb installed, then just enable USB debugging on your phone and plug it in. Run react-native run-android in the command line to send your program to your phone.
Note that these steps may differ depending on how far you've followed to the directions for either expo or react-native.
