React Conf app for 2025 is out now! And if you're curious to see know how it was built, check out the source code here: github.com/expo/react-c...

"I'm new to React Native / Expo Router - how should I structure my codebase?" It's a question that comes up quite a bit, and this is an attempt at providing some very concrete suggestions. Already using Router? I'd love to know if there's anything you'd do differently, and why 📝

Check out our new homepage! We also have cool new landing pages to demonstrate how various builders - enterprise, ecom, startups, finserv, crypto, solo devs - benefit from building with Expo.

Time to upgrade!

This is a lovely, honest build log of a web developer building a native app with Expo for the first time! Thank you so much for sharing. Your feedback throughout has been really useful in helping us make things smoother in the future 🕵️‍♀️

I made an iOS app, AI-free, cloud-free, subscription-free, please smash that notify button (Product Hunt didn’t let me launch it today so I guess we’re launching tomorrow?) www.producthunt.com/products/duc...

New @expo.dev example: graphQL server and client with ✨automatic type generation✨! 🧘‍♀️ GraphQL Yoga - server 💜 URQL - client 🎉 gql.tada - type generation ☁️ EAS Hosting - for API & web deployments

New @expo.dev example! Here's how to upload images from your app to an AWS S3 bucket with Expo Router and EAS Hosting github.com/expo/example...

Holy crap, I guess the whole "if you don't ask, you don't get" is real! Apple couldn't fix my 3-year-old out-of-warranty Studio Display so in the end they replaced it. For free! It feels like Christmas.

Say hello to auth flows without redirects! 💜

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.

The react-native-keyboard-controller is by far the most complete and exceptional keyboard management library for React Native 👌 github.com/kirillzyusko...

The State of Expo 📈 at AppJS Conf

The calm before the storm! AppJS 2025 pre-conference meetup ✨

React Native & Expo conf of the year coming up soon! 🔥

huge shoutout to @zoontek.me - his work dragging the @reactnative.dev ecosystem kicking and screaming to support modern Android has been incredible. finally merged this PR that he kindly opened for us - a rare PR that deletes/simplifies a bunch of gnarly code and fixes a ton of bugs all at once 🎉

Building Expo apps is like... 1. make it work 2. make it pretty 3. make it ⚡️performant ⚡️ Some great tips on how to achieve that last part 👇

Bonjour! Excited to be in Paris 🇫🇷 for @reactnativeconnect.bsky.social

This seems like a bad idea 🙃

Forget about inverting a binary tree, I want to see you fold a fitted sheet!

📣 Announcing our first speaker for our International Women's Day special: @kadi.bsky.social will be talking us through how to get the best of web & native using Expo! 🚨Get your tickets as they're almost sold out: guild.host/events/react...

I made an app that opens faster than any Mac app I've seen, loading a 5500 line markdown file instantly. It's not Swift. Not Rust. Not C++. It's JavaScript! react-native-macos is INSANELY fast 🤯 And 10% the size of an Electron app! I had no idea RN on desktop is this good.

Work at Expo!

Three ways to use the @expo.dev Router Link component

Just launched the first version of the React Native Directory VS Code extension! 🎉 Now you can effortlessly discover & integrate React Native libraries into your project, without leaving VS Code. Give it a try and let me know what you think! 👇 🔗 marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

I made an @expo.dev cli cheat sheet!

The React Native scene in France is excellent! Super excited for Paris this April! 🇫🇷 💚

☺️ Want to run unit tests→build→E2E tests→submit in one place? Try EAS Workflows. expo.dev/eas/workflows

Thinking about making a tutorial video on "common Expo Router layouts and navigation patterns". Are any that would be especially useful to talk through?

Deep linking into your native app from a web URL has never been easier! I put together a guide on implementing iOS Universal Links and Android App Links on your @expo.dev project, including: 📽️ YouTube tutorial youtu.be/kNbEEYlFIPs 📝 Blog expo.dev/blog/univers... 🔍 Example github.com/kadikraman/l...

A little something for the office 💚

The 5th edition of our React Native & @expo.dev- focused conf is coming closer and we're now accepting talks proposals! 🚨 If you have an interesting perspective on RN hot topics or you've come up with a solution for a common pain point & want to share your insights -> apply at appjs.co

Okay I'm actually blown away that we can build an iOS app, an Android app and a website, sharing the same codebase with the power of React Native. And it's... not that hard? 🤯

Reanimated is already the best tool in out React Native animation toolbox and it Just. Keeps. Getting. Better! Huge release this one, really amazing 😍

Going for 10/10 commitment to the colour scheme here 💚

If you've got an awkward 15 mins between meetings then you have enough time to host a web app with EAS Hosting. That's what JP did.

I tried Expo's new EAS Hosting, plus some thoughts on using React Native for Web apps. Spoiler: I think it's seriously underrated! Check out my quick video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUw2...
