To integrate React Native into an existing iOS app, you can use an Expo brownfield approach that provides a seamless bridge for embedding React Native views, supporting either prebuilt artifacts or direct native build integration.

Yes, you can add Expo to an existing Android app by using the isolated integration approach, which leverages prebuilt artifacts to introduce React Native capabilities without disrupting your current native build process.

The isolated approach uses prebuilt artifacts to separate React Native code from native builds, while the integrated approach embeds Expo directly into the native iOS or Android build process for tighter coupling.

Yes, embedding Expo into existing native apps requires Node.js and Yarn, along with the Expo SDK and appropriate native build tools, to manage dependencies and execute the integration scripts.

The best way to gradually adopt React Native is using an Expo brownfield integration, which allows mobile development teams to introduce React Native views incrementally without rewriting the entire native application.

Using prebuilt artifacts for Expo brownfield integration isolates React Native from the native build, which may limit deep native module linking compared to embedding directly into the native iOS or Android build process.
