Are there any alternatives to Snack for creating an Expo/React native app demo?
That's because the firebase SDK contains native code probably. If you want to create a snack it has to be Expo Go compatible

r/expo on Reddit: Can I use Expo (or Expo Snacks) to showcase the app I’ve built?
January 23, 2024 -
So basically I’m pretty new to programming and very new to app creation. What I’m looking to accomplish is the following:
build an app using React Native.
be able to showcase that app off to potential employers.
To accomplish this, I figure Expo comes in at some point, since I currently have downloaded the Expo Go app and do see the code I’ve written on my computer reflected in the app. This seems all good so far, but I don’t think I quite understand how I can share this work with others. From what I understand, Expo Go will only show the work from your computer’s code if you’re on the same network and have synced up the two via a QR code (I’m currently not on the same network as my code/computer and tried to open my project in Expo Go, to no avail).
Is there a workaround/better way to do this? Basically I want my app to be shareable so that other non-developers can see/use/test it, including uploading their own pictures, etc into the app. Is this possible and, if so, can Expo or any of its tools come into play in this process?

For expo itself, i´m aware only about the expo go app, or build a package local with eas (and distribute it as APK, IPA, but that requires the users to enable developer mode, etc, to install it)You can also use internal testing in Google Play Console, or Testflight in Apple, to distribute betas and previews openly or closed to your criteria.

A couple suggestions: Expo Go mobile app: you can share a link to your code to anyone else with expo go installed. This is best but employers might not have it preinstalled and probably won’t install just for you. You can share your phone. You can get a demo device and load your app there. You can show them from the emulator on your laptop because you said you wanted to share the code with them at same time. You could publish all the way to the store and let people see it that way.

If anyone is still confused in 2024, you should add a package directly to the package.json file and just save that file. It will run npm install.
And there is a list of available packages that snack supports which is frequently updated. So not all packages are supported.

It may be due to missing of node modules in your project compared to the Github project. As the Stack.expo browser won't give us full freedom to install custom modules, I suggest you to download VS Code and open the Github project in it, then do "npm install" from cmd and "react-native run-android/ios".
