This is nuts

Anyone hit this `expo-image-picker` issue on Android device only? Sims/emus are fine. It's specific to this project only for some reason - I made a min repro and it works on Pixel 4/7/9 Pro 🙃

The bro who works at 48 startups

I can't stand how this is still an issue today: www.reddit.com/r/elgato/com...

Is there a way to rollback an EAS update to the store published version? Like let's say you do the following: 1. Store publish release 1.0 2. EAS update a change (the first EAS update post release) Can I get back to 1?

Now Cursor can actually see what's going on in your iOS Simulator for you 👀🤖 The new `ui-view` tool in v1.4.0 inputs image data into your conversation context automatically so you don't need drag and drop images manually into your conversation.

Hmmm I wonder 👀🤔

Most of my follow up prompts want to be like, "why didn't you just suggest this before?"

Coming back to Seattle! cascadiajs.com/2025/talks/t...

I'm curious if TypeScripters put semicolons on when they're doing a bunch of native coding. I'm forgetting them all over the place 😅

it feels just like junior developers—we start without enough insight or wisdom, and only grow through trial and error. over time, those insights stack up and turn into experience.

Doing some Windows programming today, eventually loop it back into react-native-windows. Just working your basic menu right now with hotkeys and your alt modifiers. Using AI of course but it's like at what Nth iteration do you just go back to reading the docs and understand things.

I'm digging the new @github.com contributions graph style change

Know a React Native dev (~2 yrs experience) looking for a new job? A small but growing team at a mature startup in the pet health space is hiring — remote on EST, looking for someone who is excited to both teach & learn from teammates. If you think you are a good fit, send a DM.

It is indeed intended, so here is the docs PR to give some clarity around that for migration users. github.com/expo/expo/pu...

For those migrating from `expo-av` to `expo-audio`, you need to be aware that you have to rewind the progress back to 0 if intending to play the same sound source after it has been played. I made a repro to demonstrate this here: github.com/frankcalise/...

Tried out EAS hosting for the first time last night, super simple. Love it.

Animation and app demos are great. I would love to see more of them on old Android devices, though.

Landed in Atlanta, one more flight to go 😴

Another great conference with even greater people! What a wonderful community we have, especially with @expo.dev and @swmansion.com at the core of it. Grateful for all that they do and for the opportunity to connect with them in person!

Maestro support for toggling light/dark theme coming soon thanks to Mark - github.com/mobile-dev-i...

Anyone hanging at AMS for the flight to Kraków later?

Starting my trek to beautiful Kraków
