Well, long story short you can go for either but the expo-cli projects are used for learning purpose and react-native cli projects are for the production purpose. When you create projects using the expo-cli, many features come pre-configured. You will just need to consume it.

I will discuss this in detail, in some other post. In this post, I will be using an expo-cli project and later on show you how to generate APK (Android Packag...
