Expo

?? Expo modules simplify the process of wrapping existing native libraries for iOS and Android so you can use them in your Expo apps. This is an important capability and we want everyone to feel confident with their wrapping so Alberto Moedano packaged up this tutorial video to show you how it's done. In the video he uses the Expo Modules API to create a Charts Module by integrating two existing open source libraries.

Just after the excellent React Native 0.76 milestone release, here comes Expo SDK 52, just as great. There’s a huge changelog and many expo package updates. My favorite items are: ?? New Architecture enabled by default for new projects, opt-in for existing ones. Expo Go now only supports the New Architecture. ?? Expo Router 4, React Navigation 7 ?? Universal Server Components and Server Actions (experimental) ?? DOM Components with the ’use dom’ directive for incremental migrations or seamlessly integrating a WebView ?? React Native DevTools ?? Universal Tree Shaking (experimental) ?? React Compiler (experimental) https://lnkd.in/gsJtmhC2 #reactnative

?? Great blog from the React Native team at Meta about how wonderful the developer experience is when you use ?? Expo: https://lnkd.in/g-JGC5Sq

Join our Launch Week AMA livestream to hear about everything we've released as part of SDK 52 and beyond. This is a complex, ambitious, powerful, and vast release so we have a lot of ground to cover and we expect a lot of questions from the audience. Please take a look at the SDK 52 beta, make sure it works with your apps, and bring your questions to the stream: https://lnkd.in/gQJi7qC8 Our hosts will be Brent Vatne, Jon Samp, and Keith Kurak.

In this livestream we'll be joined by Krzysztof Magiera the Director of Engineering at Software Mansion. He'll do a live demo Radon IDE - the VS Code extension that aims to streamline development of React Native and Expo applications. You can read more about Radon here: https://ide.swmansion.com/ The current version supports developing on macOS for Android and iOS platforms, and on Windows for Android with the current list of features available: ? Managing iOS and Android simulator (for now only iPhone Pro and Pixel 7 skins are available) ? Automatically build and launch your project (keeping track of native or javascript updates automatically) ? Integrated debugger always available – when running the project you can set breakpoints in the editor and don't need to bother with any additional configuration to get your application stop at those breakpoints ? Element inspector that jumps to component code ? Integrated console log output panel that links to file/line with the log statement ? Preview package that allows for working on components in isolation (render single component instead of the whole app) ? Expo Router integration with browser-like URL toolbar ? Easy access to device settings for text size and light/dark mode Join the stream to see how you can use Radon to speed up development.

?? Launch Party day 5: Managing API keys and secrets across environments just got easier with the new EAS environment variables ?? Today we are introducing the ability to securely store all environment variables in EAS and keep them in sync between EAS Build, EAS Update, and wherever else you need them. These environment variables can be isolated to development, preview, and production environments and can be synced to your local machine or another CI environment with a single command. Check out the blog post from Szymon Dziedzic, Keith Kurak, Jon Samp, and Piotr Szeremeta for more details: https://lnkd.in/gr5_bMt2

?? Upgrading to Expo SDK 52? While many updates are straightforward, every app is unique.

That's where our guide comes in. We've outlined the key elements of an SDK upgrade and included battle-tested troubleshooting strategies to help you quickly pinpoint and resolve issues. With these insights, you'll be ready to confidently bring your app to the next level. Check it out and make your upgrade process as smooth as possible! https://lnkd.in/g4Ur8SRd

Come watch Vadim Savin from notJust.dev as he begins a journey to build 4 Expo apps in 4 weeks. This stream will take place at the beginning of his 4 week stretch so we'll learn about how he plans to execute this challenge and what tricks he uses to build apps fast with Expo.

?? Both the Bluesky Social and Phantom apps are built with Expo. Need to get those other 3 on Expo as well. No reason they shouldn't be.
