Speaking at React Summit this June! 🚀 You can register through my badge and watch the livestream for free → gitnation.com/badges/react... See you June 12 & 16!

Reminder: the APK you build for testing is NOT the actual app size 🔹 Debug APK: 95MB 🔹 AAB: 68 MB 🔹 Actual download: 24MB Your users aren't downloading 95 MB: APKs bundle resources for every device config. AAB lets Google Play deliver only what the user's device actually needs

Did you know! You can append .md to any @expo.dev blog or changelog post to get the content as markdown Psst! this will also work with accept headers
