Why should you try Expo - it is a great platform and if you have never tried or you have experience with old versions you probably should try it.

    Get metadata of a package from the npm registry

    My corporate network is pretty locked down and all traffic runs through a proxy. There have been a number of times where the Expo CLI has exploded or hung or just silently failed due to failure to respect system settings for things like proxies. What's odd is that not everything fails, only some things. Sometimes it's due to delegating certain requests to other cli libraries which themselves don't respect these settings correctly. For these I generally try to track down the bugs and open issues / submit PRs where possible, but they don't always get picked up. My "favorite" experience with this was when a package owner closed an issue claiming proxy support should instead be added to the lower level package (that he also owns) but then closed the proxy support issue on that lower level package claiming "it's just too complicated" and passing the buck back up to package consumers, creating a nice catch-22.
