React Native, Web Components

Both if by api you mean amplify-js as a whole

Not outside of amplify

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I was told that this feature request had been created already by aws support. But I could not locate it. So I made one of my own.

According to recent conversations with support and the dev team in other tickets. Support for expo go, react-native web and expo web while it always has been and still is being maintained in Version 5. Will no longer be supported in Version 6 and newer.

Our production application runs primarily as a web app. We've spent many years developing and to it using react-native and expo on Amplify. We love using Amplify for this.

But I have been told that the reason support is being dropped for web is because it is "a lot of work". With no regard to how much work time and money it's going to cost us loyal customers of Amplify. Making us have to completely throw out the last 5 years of development for an entirely new web framework that you currently still support.

I respectfully request that you re include support for expo and react-native web and continue to include them as full stack options for Amplifys newest and future versions.

Describe the solution you'd like

Continued support for web in expo and react-native after version 5

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm open to suggestion that don't require a complete rewrite of our application in another farmwork, so we can continue to offer our clients our web app.
