Does this work with react native that's build with expo?

I'm not an Expo expert, but I will try to answer the question to the best of my knowledge. First, it's important to note that Babylon Native (and the React Native integration) heavily use platform native APIs for rendering and augmented reality. Given this, I expect the limitations of using Babylon React Native in an expo app to be the same as any other custom React Native module in an Expo-based app.

Under the default "managed workflow" of Expo, my understanding is that this is a "closed system" in terms of native functionality that is limited to the React Native core components and the Expo SDK. Additional React Native custom modules that include native code cannot be used in these scenarios, and so again I expect the same restriction for Babylon React Native.

Under the "bare workflow" (where a "managed" Expo app is "ejected"), then you basically just have a React Native app with some expo specific tooling and module layers on top. In this case, I expect Babylon React Native could be used, in the same way other custom React Native modules with native code could be used.

I understand some folks in the community have done some experiments with making Babylon.js work with expo-gl, so depending on your situation, this could be interesting to explore as well. You can read more about this here: https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/babylonjs-in-reactnative/5420/22

Let me know if you have more questions and I'm happy to try to answer!
