Restarting after a break
Restart point: Revenue Cat starting TS: https://youtu.be/fO3D8lNs10c?t=10412 (2 hrs. 53 min).

The remaining parts of the video:
02:53:31 Purchasing Courses with RevenueCat
03:13:36 Handling Web Purchases with Stripe
03:25:56 Showing Courses and Drawer Navigation
03:42:00 Building out the Custom Drawer
03:56:28 Creating Lessons with Expo Video
04:23:30 Adding a Waitlist Page and User Profile
04:30:58 Transfer Data to Strapi Cloud
04:37:38 Deploy your Website through EAS Hosting
04:41:27 Breakdown

As a first step in resumption after the break, I watched the whole of the remaining part of the video (close to 2 hours).

The 'Purchasing Courses with RevenueCat' part seems to need publishing Android app to Google Play Store which will need a Google Play account (paid). So I think I should explore skipping that part of the tutorial.

The 'Handling Web Purchases with Stripe' part does not seem to need any paid account/payment but if I am going to skip the RevenueCat part, perhaps I should skip the Stripe part too.

The parts 'Showing Courses and Drawer Navigation' to 'Adding a Waitlist Page and User Profile' seem very relevant for my needs/interests. So I must go through them and get the related code working for web and Android.

'Transfer Data to Strapi Cloud' part can be done using a trial period of Strapi Cloud (two weeks, IFIRC). The next part of 'Deploy your Website through EAS Hosting' seems to need the Strapi Cloud backend for the web deployment to work.
-----------------------------

I am considering incorporating the RevenueCat and Stripe parts related coding so that I follow the entire flow of the video. I will not invoke those parts by not using the paid course(s).  ... But if I trip up while taking this approach due to lack of Google Play account then I may have no option but to exclude related code of RevenueCat.
