Setting up React Native Application

React Native is a Javascript framework that allows us to create mobile that will run on both Andriod and iOS.

Expo is a framework and a platform for universal React applications. It is a set of tools and services built around React Native and native platforms that help you develop, build, deploy, and quickly iterate on iOS, Android, and web apps from the same JavaScript/TypeScript codebase.

We need to have a knowledge of javascript and reactjs.
