Skip the setup. Start building
Expo Apps instantly.
Expo is the best way to build React Native apps. But even with Expo, you still need to learn the framework, write code, and configure your project. RapidNative generates production-ready Expo code from plain English descriptions. Same powerful stack, zero setup.
What is Expo?
Expo is an open-source framework built on top of React Native that simplifies mobile app development.
Expo is trusted by thousands of companies and is now the officially recommended way to start React Native projects. React Native's own documentation points developers to Expo as the default framework.
Features of Expo
Managed workflow that handles native configuration for youExpo Go for instant preview on physical devicesEAS (Expo Application Services) for cloud builds and app store deploymentPre-built APIs for camera, notifications, location, and moreOver-the-air updates to push changes without app store reviewWhy Developers Choose Expo
No need to configure Xcode or Android StudioSingle codebase for iOS, Android, and webConsistent APIs across platformsActive community and excellent documentationFast iteration with hot reloadingThe Challenge with Expo Development
Even though Expo simplifies React Native development, there's still a learning curve:
Setup Requirements
Install Node.js and npm- Install Expo CLI or use npx
- Create and configure your project
- Understand file structure and navigation
- Learn Expo's APIs and conventions
Development Time
- Writing components from scratch
- Implementing navigation and routing
- Styling screens with NativeWind or StyleSheet
- Connecting to backends and APIs
- Testing across platforms
Deployment Complexity
- Configure eas.json for builds
- Set up signing credentials
- Manage EAS Build credits and pricing
- Handle app store submissions
For experienced developers, this is manageable. For founders, designers, and teams wanting to move fast, it's a bottleneck.

Common Questions
No. RapidNative generates Expo projects. You still use Expo Go for preview, EAS for builds, and all of Expo's tools. RapidNative just writes the code for you.
