Covers key considerations including React Native version constraints (Vega supports up to 0.72), Expo compatibility limitations, library support via the @amazon-devices npm scope, and platform-specific workarounds. The recommended approach uses a Yarn monorepo with three packages: the Expo app, shared components/logic, and the Vega app. Practical steps include setting up the monorepo, extracting shared code, configuring the Vega SDK project, handling the lack of streaming fetch support on Vega using .kepler.ts platform-specific files, fixing keyboard input via manifest.toml entries, and adjusting UI layout for TV screens. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
