I wrote and released an iOS and Android app a few years ago and used Expo for ease of cross platform and the hosted build system.
I don't use all the fancy OTA updates and what not, but I can definitely recommend Expo as both a beginner to RN and beginner to iOS+Android app dev.
Is there anything equivalent for Vue? I know there was VueNative and NativeScript and there is even Ionic in Vue, but haven't really seen any framework that is either dedicated to Vue or has a strong support for Vue.
