Expo has one small issue... if you are in an organization that isn't capable of keeping it up to date and it becomes deprecated, your app will stop working.

If this happens over a weekend, expect your phone to blow up every three hours until it gets republished and fixed.

Unless you are referring to another issue, using `expo build:android` will create an apk file so you don't have to rely on staying up to date with the Expo app.

Yeah, but if you are using their native extensions and they deprecate your version, their repo will become unavailable and your app will fail to start.
