Cache Quirks With Expo
When you're using expo to make a react native app, there are a bunch of quirks to look out for.
Chief, for me of late, is all the quirks around clearing the cache.

Android let’s you delete the data an app has without uninstalling it.
iOS wants you to reinstall the app.
There was a bug with gestures, that wasn't really a bug and I didn't realise it till I ran my project on a device I hadn't used in a whillleeee.
It was on iOS and reinstalling expo cleared it.
On android, clearing the data would've been enough without a clean install.
