Why does expo have two ways to authenticate with google?
It is not clear to me what the differences are between expo-google-app-auth and expo-google-sign-in.
Which one should I use for what occasion?

The difference is expo-google-sign-in is only available if you ejected your expo app (which is what "standalone" means) and you wouldn't need to leave your app and open a web browser to sign in.
If you want to keep using expo snack you would need to keep it from being ejected, so you should use expo-google-app-auth, which basically opens up a web browser to sign in, so it's less sophisicated than expo-google-sign-in option, but it's your only choice.
