1. What is React Native and how does it differ from React?
   React Native uses React but targets mobile components instead of DOM elements, enabling mobile app development using JavaScript.
2. What is Expo in React Native?
   Expo is a framework and platform that simplifies the development, testing, and deployment of React Native apps.
3. How do you manage navigation in React Native?
   React Navigation is used to implement stack, tab, and drawer navigators across different app screens.
4. How is state managed in React Native?
   Using useState, useReducer, Context API, or external libraries like Redux.
5. What is AsyncStorage in React Native?
   AsyncStorage is a local storage system for persisting small amounts of key-value data between app sessions.
6. How do you access native device features?
   Using Expo APIs or direct native modules for camera, location, notifications, etc.
7. What is the Animated API used for?
   It allows creating smooth animations for components using JavaScript or native drivers.
8. How do you handle data fetching in React Native?
   Using Axios or the Fetch API in useEffect hooks to make asynchronous calls.
9. What is the difference between FlatList and ScrollView?
   FlatList is optimized for large lists with better performance and lazy loading; ScrollView renders all items at once.
10. When should you eject from Expo?
    You eject when you need native code customization or use unsupported native modules.
