Note: Support for Expo CLI based apps.
If you are using Expo CLI to build a React Native app, the calling component will not work as our calling component needs native-level changes.However, you can create a React Native app using React Native CLI or use the ‘expo eject’ command to convert your app from an expo-managed workflow to a bare workflow.
