If you check the play store react-native apps size (like airbnb, instagram) you will find out that all of react-native apps size are over 30 MB and it's normal for React-native apps to be much heavier than native apps. You can use react-native-cli instead of expo, your app size at first will be about 17 MB, It's much better i think. isn't it?

You can try this too to make it smaller. see this post on medium
