I don't understand. You don't need file system access? Then of course that's not a problem, does that need to be mentioned? Or you do need it, use a 3rd party app, and have not found the many issues of having to rely on a 3rd party module, such as when RNFB's maintainer disappeared (plus numerous code issues)? Since I care about future maintenance and I know that unpaid volunteers fed up with the demands placed on them by more and more users of their free packages I am not satisfied when at the time of use the package happens to work, I always look ahead and fear the future. When you have to unravel the whole thing a year later, when you have long moved on and have other things to do but now have a big maintenance issue on your hands because of some 3rd party package that you now have to maintain your own fork of, it's no fun.

That is a plan for the possibly far-away future. In the recent HN thread about RN plans the RN person who responded to questions ("spicyj") said "likely yes", so it's not a done deal yet even as far as plans go.

- k__ 8y agoI did a document management app for iPad with RN once. Used Expo for this. It required me to rethink a few things but in the end it worked like a charm and I didn't event need to detatch.
- ItsMe000001 8y agoWe looked at Expo but quickly stopped looking at it for a variety of reasons. So it worked for you, and you don't care about the maintenance issues either (you only mention that you what you implemented worked).
- k__ 8y agoI used the library you mentioned in another project and didn't even notice the maintenance issue. I used it for offline storage of video and audio files. Didn't touch the code that interacts with that lib for half a year now.
