# Expo Brownfield ## When to Use Use this skill when you need integrate Expo and React Native into an existing native iOS or Android app. Use when the user mentions brownfield, embedding React Native in a native app, AAR/XCFramework, or adding Expo to an existing Kotlin/Swift project. Covers both the isolated approach and the integrated approach. A **brownfield** app is an existing native iOS or Android app that adopts React Native incrementally, as opposed to a **greenfield** app that is React Native from day one. Expo supports two distinct ways to add React Native to a brownfield project: | Approach | What ships to the native app | When to choose | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Isolated** | Prebuilt AAR / XCFramework | Native team doesn't need Node or RN tooling; RN code can live in a separate repo | | **Integrated** | React Native sources added to the existing Gradle / CocoaPods build | One team owns everything; comfortable with RN tooling; wants a single build | For the full decision matrix, see [./references/comparison.md](./referenc

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
