We really care about speed 🏎️

it’s always funny to me when people try to paint react as some kind of “big company” propaganda. it was like one person’s wild idea and then there was at most ~5 people maintaining it for years. people HATED it when fb open sourced it. the only reason it won is because the model was actually good

If you've ever felt uneasy for 24 hours after you shipped a new build - watch @kadi.bsky.social's talk. You'll feel better. We timestamped it for you: www.youtube.com/live/dvpeMlw... We opened the beta for our observability service today and we need feedback. Try it: try.expo.dev/observe-beta...

Today is the day! 🚀

We really care about speed at @expo.dev

I joined @expo.dev! After a year away from React Native world, it feels great to be back - and even better to be building with this incredible team. Let’s ship some cool stuff.

Watch me create and deploy an Android, iOS, and web app—without writing a single line of code! Thanks to @bolt.new and @expo.dev 🚀🚀 🎥 youtu.be/iCwxkm2PkQE?...

Introducing Native Mobile App support on Bolt You can now go from idea to App Store just by prompting Bolt, no coding necessary

Answering the stateofreactnative.com: in progress ⏳ also learning a lot about the ecosystem thanks to the thoughtful details, definitely give it a go!

Take the stateofreactnative.com survey to share your feelings about the current state of React Native and help inform the future of it!

Answer the React Native survey now!

The State of React Native 2024 is now open! 🚨🚨🚨 ➡️ stateofreactnative.com We've been running this survey for 3 years & it's become an invaluable resource for learning about React Native's best features and biggest pain points. Share your thoughts and help us shape the whole RN ecosystem!

🪲 In the "State of React Native" survey each year "debugging" has been the biggest pain point. That's why @swmansion.com built Radon. Set a reminder on youtube for the livestream next Tuesday to watch @kzzzf.bsky.social live demo the power of Radon 1.0: youtube.com/live/UeYmRKW...

React v19 is now stable! react.dev/blog/2024/12...

We’ve taught 400+ devs what really matters in React Native. Now, we’re bringing our expertise to a Tenerife villa for a week-long workshop this March 2025! 🌴 Master native modules, app performance, Reanimated, Gesture Handler, and more. Check the details and join us: paradise.swmansion.com ⛱️

Your upvotes really matter 🔺

🆕 We've introduced a new, simple, powerful way to play videos in apps. It's called expo-video. expo-video is replacing the now out-dated Video component of expo-av, and soon expo-audio will replace the Audio component of expo-av, making it fully deprecated. expo.dev/blog/expo-vi...

Would appreciate your upvotes on this one 🙏

If you want to learn best practices in most crucial app development regions, you have to be there with us!

If you are a react native dev and haven't heard about Radon IDE from @swmansion.com yet, take a look and give it a try!

🤩❤️

🫡 Thanks to @zoontek.me - Android is now livin on the edge-to-edge. Check out the blog post to learn how your app content can flow smoothly beneath the system bars on Android. expo.dev/blog/edge-to...

Are RSC & DOM Components the Future of React Native? React Server Components can be used with React Native since @expo.dev SDK 52, and combined with DOM components you can do wild things in your apps! youtu.be/uLjqKLjE4UE

The fastest growing app on the App Store is fully open source. You may have heard of it. But do you know how it works? I do now! Huge thanks to everyone who helped me make this one happen 🙏 youtu.be/cIoYUQhKJUo

We improved a bunch of things when it comes to handling environment variables in EAS. Give it a read if you are interested 👀

Join AMA today to ask the @expo.dev team some questions!

Partiful, built with Expo, was just named the Best App of 2024 by Google. blog.google/products/goo...

Workflows are like a specialized tool for developers building Expo apps. They add the glue between all the steps you need to deliver your code to your users.

I was lucky to have early access to Workflows, and I can tell, it’s game changing for CICD 👌

Expo Workflows look absolutely fantastic. The ability to write arbitrary YAML files lets you do pretty much anything — so no more jumping between CI/CD tools. That’s amazing 👏

Read this thread to learn more about why Workflows (expo.dev/blog/expo-wo...) can improve your EAS workflow 👀:

Give Workflows a try and let us know what you think about them! 🚀

This is huge! 🚀🚀

Great video covering everything in the Expo SDK 52 release from @galaxies.dev www.youtube.com/watch?v=OROM...

Join @expo.dev for the second day of launch party! 🎉

Who else is joining the party ⬇️🎉?

. @expo.dev launch party starts in under 20 hours 🎉 expo.dev/launch-party

I am not going to say what or when, but what @kzzzf.bsky.social / @swmansion.com are about to release will erupt the whole React Native community. I have been blown away! True genius! Y’all gonna love it. The demo was like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Come to the sponsors room and talk to @swmansion.com devs about Radon IDE and our open source libraries 🔥 #RNLConf2024

. @cedric.dev takes the stage at @reactnativelondon.co.uk to DOMystify going from web to native 👀 #RNLConf2024 👀

Feels good to see it 🤩

Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week. The majority of new users are from the US, and the app is currently the number 2 free social networking app in the US App Store www.theverge.com/2024/11/11/2...

This is huge release 🔥

Useful for new and old EAS Build users 👀:

most of the credit goes to the tiny bluesky team but a little goes to their choice to use RN+expo instead of making 3 separate apps.

trying react native without expo to make a reproducing project and let me tell you, it’s a world of pain i did not realize how much expo was doing for us
