A bare React Native app is a project where developers make direct changes to their native android and ios project directories rather than continuously generating (with CNG) them using app config and prebuild.
All tools and services provided by Expo, including EAS, Expo CLI, and Expo SDK libraries, work great whether you use CNG to generate your native directories or you modify them directly (bare workflow).
