SOLVED: Display smooth live preview in React Native Expo with SDK

thanks to @arturkesik and @Wyllis_Monteiro for providing this information. Is the preview smooth in React Native Expo?

I need to use npx expo run:android instead of npx expo start but some project modification > should be made.

  • Execute npx expo run:android to initialize /android folder at the root project (error will apear)
  • Update minSdkVersion to 26 in android/app/build.gradle
  • Now I should always use npx expo run:android to build project (for Android)

Wow, this is a nice tip. Seems like a hard-earned one. Thanks. :slight_smile:
