Answer 1

if you will see this repo https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app you'll know that create-react-native-app is Expo product. All your app compiling on Expo servers and index.android.js and index.ios.js located there.

If you want to modify platform files, you need to run

npm run eject

After that, you'll get a raw react-native project with all dependencies (npm, cocoapods, react-native modules) and of course index.android.js and index.ios.js
