We are very excited to announce our support for Expo with our new package @nrwl/expo. In addition to the React Native support, with this release of @nrwl/expo, you will be able to easily develop mobile apps in the monorepo. If you use Expo in a monorepo then Nx is the tool for you.

This blog will show you how to create a one-page app to display a poem:

In short, Expo is a set of tools built on top of React Native. You can read it more at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39170622/what-is-the-difference-between-expo-and-react-native.
