No need to build locally, no need to go through TestFlight. The flow is the following: - New PR triggers a GitHub action - The action uses eas update - When the update is ready, an action comments the QR code on the PR, ready to be scanned and tested by anyone.

Tight, seamless feedback loops between engineers, designers and managers are critical for well-crafted apps. We started using @expo preview with partners so that anyone involved, not just developers, can quickly test any new PR almost instantly.

shipped a Claude Code skill for react-native-ease "/react-native-ease-refactor" scans your codebase for Reanimated/Animated code, classifies what can migrate vs what can't, shows you a report, then rewrites the components you pick

Finally got to build this. Create animations that use Core Animation on iOS and Animator on Android with zero JS overhead. Same animation. But one keeps running smoothly even when the UI thread is lagging. Introducing react-native-ease 🍃

@yuehan_john_ Yeah, that’s the tricky part. It feels like you’re moving faster at first, but you end up paying for it once the product gets bigger.

@appandflow the design debt argument is so real. we cut design system work early at silt to ship faster and it came back to bite us when engineers started making inconsistent decisions on their own. a shared system is actually faster in the medium term

UI, UX (and therefore design engineering) is something you should invest in as soon as you start planning your product. When deadlines get tight, it is often the first thing sacrificed. When you have strong design systems in place, you’re assured of always having a solid baseline. It also makes it easier for engineers and designers to understand each other, raising the bar for quality release after release.

Expo just released Expo Agent! We’re already seeing more and more product teams (in our portfolio) use tools like this to quickly prototype ideas, test flows, and validate features before committing engineering time. It’s a great way to move faster in the early stages of product development. Curious to see how teams start integrating Expo Agent into their product workflows.
Expo@expo

🙌 Today we're thrilled to introduce the beta of Expo Agent. At Expo our mission has always been the same: to make it as delightful as possible to build beautiful, powerful native apps. Expo Agent represents massive progress in our pursuit of that mission. Watch the video from @Baconbrix and get yourself on the waitlist right here: agent.expo.dev More details in the blog below ↓

Need a quick check on your app's quality? Here's a 20-minute triage checklist. Three metrics to cover the essentials: - Crash-free session rate (aim for 99.5%+) - Cold start time (Android & iOS) - Bundle size vs. industry benchmarks The rule of thumb: if any metric is 2× the benchmark, it's worth a deeper investigation. If all three pass, you're in good shape to move forward with confidence. A simple routine to add before any release.

Building an SDK isn’t “just open-sourcing a wrapper.” It’s a commitment to other roadmaps, your clients products. Common pain points we debug at App & Flow: - Breaking API changes hidden behind “minor” bumps - Inconsistent behaviors across Android & iOS - Docs that explain what, not why, leaving users to reverse-engineer intent - Dependency conflicts that break builds - Versioning & release processes that create upgrade pain - Edge cases only visible at scale - Poor error handling that leaves users stranded The fix? Treat your SDK like a product: use semantic versioning (major.minor.patch), write contract tests, and involve your community with RFCs. For example, @stripe nails this, which is why onboarding feels frictionless. Rule of thumb: If updating your SDK requires a Slack war room, it’s time for a process tune-up. Reach out to App&Flow if you need help!

We've noticed a pattern with high-performing engineering teams: They know when to build internally vs. when to bring in specialized help. Common scenarios where external expertise makes sense: - Performance issues that need immediate, focused attention - SDK development that's outside your core product roadmap - Quality improvements that can't wait for next quarter's planning - Developer Experience improvements to increase team productivity It's not about capability, it's about focus and priorities. Your team could probably solve these problems. But should they, when it pulls them away from your core product goals? We’ve built a consulting team at App&Flow that thrives in “special project” mode: deep dives, complex tech, hard deadlines. If any of this sounds familiar, let's talk!

➕ Expo is additive. If you have an existing bare React Native app and you want to modernize it there are clear, approachable steps you can take to begin adding Expo to your app. We outlined them in this blog post (which was inspired by a conversation with a team hoping to add Expo a massive React Native app): expo.dev/blog/how-to-in…

Had a few people ask about our website redesign, so here goes! We are big fans of simplicity, a "no-fluff" kind of team, so a one-pager was a no-brainer. But we love giving extra attention to details! So our goal was simple: how can we pack the most punch in a one-pager? In 2025 we became big fans of creating wow moments with 3D models, so using one in our hero was only natural. We worked with our long-time collaborator Nicolas Solerieu on the model, highlighting the heart of what and who we are: a React Native engineering team from Montreal. Tried to sprinkle as many little details and interactive elements as possible without losing usability or overdoing it. "Good things come in small packages."
