@sidferreiraz 🤫

@expo Ok, is this an April's Fools joke?

😎 New in Expo UI, SDK 55: "Classic Mode" docs.expo.dev/versions/v55.0…

@Marty_cFly Like tears of joy right?

@expo ultimate cry bait

@trpfsu Ed this is awesome. Love the concept. Could call the app "Despacho" to reference your Peruvian roots!

I ended up making this into an app! Write what’s on your mind, burn it, and get an encouraging quote back. Built with @expo skia, reanimated

@wcandillon @DaehyeonMun @KimChouard You check out @NorbauerInc ?

@DaehyeonMun @KimChouard @expo damn 😅 Funny I've been deep into mechanical keyboards lately.

Finally unboxing the prize for Most Creative Winner at the @expo App Awards! 🏆 This Seneca Keyboard is a work of art a fitting reward for a project where I pushed React Native to its creative limits. I can't wait to build something amazing with it this year !!! 🔥🔥🔥

@danielrachlin @petergyang @pencildev So true. How’s it going at Hey? Need anything from us?

@petergyang @pencildev @expo The thing is. Turning generated code into a production app is always the real challenge.

Here's my new tutorial on how to build a mobile app from scratch in 16 minutes with Claude Code, @pencildev, and @expo: 1. Define requirements with Claude 2. Create beautiful designs with Pencil 3. Build the app with Claude Code and Expo Watch it to build a mobile fitness app complete with live workouts, progress charts, and more. 📌 Watch now: youtu.be/oS53by4Hwvo

🏆 A well deserved award for a remarkably talented dev.

@pushrefresh Thanks for all the supportive tweets! Let us know if there is a client story you really want to tell. Maybe it would be a good fit for the Expo blog...

React 19 hype is real. But React Native teams are still waiting. New Architecture adoption is crawling. Most production apps stuck on old bridge. Meanwhile Expo's shipping features that just work. EAS Build. Router v4. SDK 55. Sometimes stability beats bleeding edge. #reactnative #expo

📚 How Fig keeps millions eating safely with a five-engineer team and Expo ✍️ @cobbviously @FoodIsGoodCo helps millions with dietary restrictions find safe food. Here's how a five-person team uses the Expo SDK and EAS Update to ship reliably and move fast. expo.dev/blog/how-fig-k…

🥕🥦 A community package broke when iOS 18 deprecated its API. Then CodePush sailed off into the sunset. These issues (and more) forced the @FoodIsGoodCo team to begin adopting Expo. Below you'll find the story of how they approached adding Expo to their bare React Native app, which libraries they rely on, and which services keep them lean and fast.

@IamDammyGideon @jsmasterypro When did you last use it?

@expo @jsmasterypro Maybe I will consider #RN again

🙌 It's almost impossible to find a (non Expo) youtube tutorial covering Expo's Services. Until now. There is a massive new React Native crash course from the talented team at @jsmasterypro. You'll learn how to build with all the shiny new tools in SDK 55. And then you'll learn how to use Expo's Build, Submit, Update, and Workflows services for shipping and maintaining real production apps. youtu.be/4nVoLX2taFg?si…

@rsg @Stammy little late, but worth the wait.

@Stammy @expo Love a good follow-up 10 months later!

i worry that this rumored new iOS 26 glass-like solarium design language will lead to lots of poor non-native implementations/clones attempting to mimic this design style without accessing the native components (either b/c of complexity plumbing it through their RN views, or because of perf/battery issues). Sounds like the new components could be more aware of their surroundings + shimmer with gyro/etc which sounds like a battery drain unless done only Apple’s way i’m cautiously curious to see what they new design language looks like. only real concern is that it could lead to reduced contrast and reduced flexibility in using custom elements (only certain types of things look good on blurred translucent backgrounds, but alas we’ll adapt our ways)

@tereza_tizkova Yeah we rewrote most of those. Looks like the last few of the old ones are still trickling out.

for the record, I love Expo, but this wording is just funny

these sound like I've been addicted to some substance and they're desperately trying to to save me

@georgiecanada @Baconbrix Glad you appreciate OTA. What are you building georgie?

@Baconbrix i love love love expo ota updates!! saved me a lot of times

Over 50 hours without a fix. Use Expo OTA to instantly fix, update, and rollback changes for all platforms.

@victorbayas Thats so good to hear. What is your project? Which workflows are you enjoying?

I love @expo workflows

@Stammy @rsg Working on it now... expo.dev/services/agent

I can always count on you for the Expo mention. 🙌 Love expo. Was just telling someone yesterday I think expo is uniquely positioned to build their own ai coding platform focused on mobile. so many of the other tools are so web focused. expo could build a great preview/design environment too

@itsaydrian @jsmasterypro talented namespace.

@expo @jsmasterypro I don't know what it is about A[y]drian's but there's always one somewhere doing something pretty great. 😏
