Expo alternative
Dev community: Has anyone deployed a stand alone create-react-app to the play store? I'm having so many issues with expo and considering dumping it all together and using reactjs.

Expo is just a framework with additional plugins on top of react native, the issues you're facing are because of your code, expo is working just fine. If you eject you'll find it more challenging to deal with JAVA and Swift code base, but of course it depends on what you trying to implement..
I deployed 4 apps to Google Play and 1 to Apple Store. Send me a message if you need someone to assist you with your project
Expo has many problems with Firebase as well.
Go with react native itself without Expo.
Or flutter
How about Flutter? loljkidding
Why not go pure React Native? Might be worth waiting for them to complete their rewrite :)
So I started with Expo/create-react-app but ended up having to eject it because of custom packages. I haven't really had any problems since then (besides problems that I cause) and just had my app approved for the app store (iOS).
I also, I think, imported specific expo packages for when I need them. But, in saying all that, I don't get to enjoy a lot of the benefits of what expo offers - I have to manage deployment/updates/etc. all myself (instead of expo upload) for example. Probably more work on my end but still doable.
Try Flutter :)
I was recently thinking about starting a project with Expo - What issues are you running into?
I've been running into some build time errors when I needed to publish the app. And overall i ran into a lot of hurdles when building my project. I think expo is great to start with but be careful using it in production.
Good to know, thanks!
