I came from web to react-native.

While I found CRNA/Expo much simpler than the usual web stuff, plain RN with Xcode+fastlane much more complex.

Oh yeah I can definitely see that! Best parts about RN are imo Expo and Storybook.
Getting the setup right between yarn, gradle and whatever XCode uses drove me insane 😅 especially when you depend on multiple packages with native components that all require different Android support library, gradle, and react-native versions.

So yeah I'll definitely concede that the web front-end build process is straight forward compared to react-native's process right now
