Hello everyone! I am very interested to know What is the difference between “expo start” and this documentation Building Standalone Apps - Expo Documentation? Do they have the same result? Or are any of these instructions out of date? And which is better to choose? Are these two options completely free as well?
the easiest way to understand is to try it out: Create a new app - Expo Documentation
once you run that you will know what expo start does. the link you shared takes what you develop and packages it for deployment to the app store or play store.
the tools are free to use

Thank you for your answer!
I also want to ask: What is the minimum and maximum version of Android and IOS supported?
So it will be available for a finished application, not just for expo Go?
Yes, once your app is ready to be released to the public you will be able to build binaries that can be published to their respective app stores.

Basically you run “expo start” while developing the app. When you want to deploy to the App/Play Stores you build standalone versions of the app. The standalone version does not use Expo Go, but is its own app.
