@andy_austin_dev @TimSweeneyEpic No, but it will interest so many more people to learn more about making apps. Where some of them inevitably want to actually learn how to code or really make something amazing.

@cedric_dev @TimSweeneyEpic But prompting till your app works doesn’t make you a coder

Google just announced a "developer mode" coming to Android. It continues to enable installing unsigned software, a key use case in hobby development and in human rights tools. And it has serious safeguards against the most potent malware attacks like AI impersonation.

Google introduces a new way for users to sideload Android apps that still protects against scams techcrunch.com/2026/03/19/goo…

@andy_austin_dev @TimSweeneyEpic I used Dreamweaver’s WYSIWYG features to make websites before I could code. We all have to start somewhere and AI is so much more powerful than WYSIWYG editors.

@TimSweeneyEpic @cedric_dev Is vibe coding learning to code? I think not..

Apple needs to bring back Steve Wozniak to fix these idiotic missteps. It’s not only a terrible move against developers, it’s a move against kids learning to make apps and therefore a move against the future of Apple’s own platform.

Apple has quietly halted App Store updates for popular AI "vibe-coding" applications most notably the $9 billion startup Replit and mobile app builder Vibecode. After months of pushback, Apple is reportedly demanding major UX changes. Replit is being asked to force its generated app previews to open in an external web browser rather than natively inside its app. Vibecode was told it must completely remove the ability to generate software specifically for Apple devices.

Meanwhile, Apple has lost their way. They're not only blocking competing stores outside of EU, Japan, and Brazil; they're actually blocking useful features of developer tools on the App Store, preventing a new generation of kids from learning to code.

After years of using Flutter, I'm ditching Flutter.
KMP is the way to go for me from now on.
UI works and looks well, with cross-platform logic. Easy development with agents.
I tried SwiftUI, but oh boy, now I understand why iOS devs take so much time to build some features.
I got tired of having to fight the framework all the time.
And no I didn't try React Native with Expo.
English
Status update: TanStack Router running in React Native w/ Expo UI. Bit janky/buggy around React Native Screens still, but progress is being made.

@VadimNotJustDev @expo It is definitely not forgotten, and I agree it still requires work. That's why we had to keep it in beta. We are talking about it internally to see what direction we can take it in today's world ❤️

EAS metadata is so underrated
such a game changer for localising your app using ai
I wish @expo gives a bit more attention to it. There are some rough edges. Feels like it was forgotten after the initial release

this was the most compulsive repo star that i gave in my life

@sashakryzh @expo There are ways to configure the dynamic config to "extend" the static config, best of both worlds: #dynamic-configuration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.expo.dev/workflow/confi… (3rd example)

@cedric_dev @expo I always prefer to have DEV and PROD version of the app installed on my phone, because I use my apps and I don't want to mess the production data with dev build
is this possible to do with app.json?
English
@cedric_dev @expo why not use app.config.ts that also allows to configure APP_VARIANT + type safety
English
Thanks for the feedback, it is appreciated!
We want Expo to be the best framework to build apps, not just the best cross-platform framework. That's why we also heavily focus on single-platform features. But that does not mean we are only focused on a single platform.
Again, if the Google Play Store has a similar feature, helping users be productive with crashes during testing, we'd love to add that too.
English
@cedric_dev @Baconbrix @expo This is constructive feedback for everything Expo develops. Just check recent announcements is mostly just iOS features.
English
In the latest version of @Expo MCP,
Enable agents like Claude Code to fix TestFlight crashes and review user feedback automatically 🚀
◆ Full crash logs and screenshots
◆ Follow up with users over email
◆ Rank issue severity
◆ Works with any Apple app—Expo, SwiftUI, etc.
English
English
@Baconbrix @expo Why you guys keep emphasizing iOS only features? We like React Native / Expo because devs can develop for both platform.
Please stop with the iOS only features!

@notbrent @_thomasholland @expo And here is why React Native is tightly coupled to React versions: github.com/facebook/react…
English
@_thomasholland @expo we follow the react version that is used by react-native. react-native 0.83.1 depends on 19.2.0 #L111" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/facebook/react…
English
‼️Expo SDK 55 beta is out now🧪 (RN 0.83.1 + React 19.2)
Highlights:
♢ Legacy Architecture support is gone
♢ New default template (native tabs, /src/app)
♢ Hermes v1 opt-in
♢ Smaller OTA updates with Hermes bytecode diffing
♢ More native Router APIs + better brownfield support
♢...and more and more...
We'll link to the release notes with details about breaking changes below ↓ Please give the beta a try and report your issues 🙏

@keybid_ro @Replit @expo Thanks, yeah we had limited time and could only cover so much.
That being said, Launch already configures your app with the default EAS Updates settings - allowing you to use OTA when you add `expo-updates` to your app.
I think the LLM might even be able to create an update.
English
@cedric_dev @Replit @expo Good talk. Wish you could talk about OTA updates as well! I guess next time :)
