My app works fine on simulator but not on a real device as APK or from the playstore. Few seconds after splash screen showing it stops

It is not possible to identify the issue with no code or crash log.
If you have Bugsnag installed as Mosh does in the course, you can refer to the crash log on the Bugsnag’s dashboard.
I suggest the following solutions though:
1. Integrate a crash reporting library such as Bugsnag or Sentry.
2. You can build a debug apk which can be installed on your device or emulator: [Build APKs for Android Emulators and devices - Expo Documentation](https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/apk/)

I find it helpful to cut off the internet access while starting the project and running on the emulator. After it has run for the 1st time then reloading works without crashing
