I am super new to React Native. I know with Expo CLI, its a wrapper around React Native, and easier for beginners. To run my project, I go to my project directory in Windows PowerShell, hit “npm start”, but I see the ‘react-native-scripts start’ line instead of anything to do with expo. Then I see a QR code that I scan with the expo client app on my Android device.
Does this mean I am using Expo CLI or React Native CLI?

What SDK version do you have in app.json?
The latest version of expo-cli is 3.4.1. If you create a new app with expo start using a recent version of expo-cli, the scripts section of package.json will look like this:
