Why use Expo for a SaaS mobile app?
It depends on your native requirements, but Expo gives React Native teams a productive workflow and access to native capabilities. Expo Router supports navigation, while EAS offers build, submission, and update services. Test on real devices and plan for app-store requirements.
Build for the way people use a phone
A mobile SaaS app should do more than shrink a website. Design for small screens, intermittent connections, platform navigation, and the tasks people perform on the move. Expo builds on React Native and offers tools for iOS and Android development.
Start with one valuable journey, such as reviewing a workspace or responding to a notification, and test it on actual devices.
From development to release
EAS Build produces installable binaries and EAS Submit helps upload builds to app stores. Your team still owns signing credentials, store accounts, privacy disclosures, and review. Eligible non-native changes can be delivered with EAS Update; native changes require a compatible new build.
