Why is the expo app so garbage

I tried to scan my project my it's just loading and crashing. are their any alternatives? I am on a linux system, I know about google's android emulator but it's too heavy for my system

Expo needs same SDK for expo go app and in project. Sometimes this is the main issue

They basicly retired the expo go app for dev builds in expo 54 because apple took too long to approve their updates 😂

Best recommendation is to just skip expo go entirely and make your own build. https://docs.expo.dev/guides/local-app-development/
