console.log(Application.applicationId);The react-native-device-info package provides device and application information for React Native apps. It offers a broader range of device-specific information compared to expo-application, such as device model, manufacturer, and unique IDs.
The expo-constants package provides system information that remains constant throughout the lifecycle of the app. It includes some overlapping features with expo-application, such as app ownership and manifest details, but also includes additional constants like device year class and platform-specific information.
