Just found out I was the #9 top contributor on the @reactnative core repo last year according to GitHub Insights. Even more exciting, if you exclude Meta employees, I'm #1!🎉 Super thankful for the amazing support from the React Native community.

🙌 Expo is the best it's ever been, and it's about to get a lot better. We raised a Series B so we can go faster on the things that matter to you: faster builds, smoother native integrations, and the services to make end-to-end app development a delightful experience. There is a lot of work to do. This round led by @Georgian_io puts us in position to go do it!

New version coming soon! expo.dev/orbit

👏👏👏

@gerzonzc @betomoedano yeah, you should use @canary

@betomoedano Ended up using default@canary instead of nightly and that worked, maybe it was a mistake? @donadeldev

I'm trying to run a new nightly build from template, am I missing something or should I just use expo@canary and run bunx expo install --fix? @betomoedano

📚 No rewrite required: How to bring Expo into mature native apps ✍️ @donadeldev @notbrent Skip the costly rewrite. Use Expo and React Native to modernize your app incrementally, adding new screens and features in days, not months. expo.dev/blog/how-to-br…

Hey @typescript 👋 Can we have someone take a look at this long-standing issue? 🙏 This is becoming an increasingly common problem as more and more packages are shipping with only the TS code as many environments are now capable of stripping the types. github.com/microsoft/Type…

Introducing the React Foundation

@birch_js @jmeistrich @jamonholmgren @SaadNajmi Also, feel free to suggest changes to the macOS guide as well! Here is the link to update it github.com/microsoft/reac…

@donadeldev @jmeistrich @jamonholmgren @SaadNajmi Okay, I forced it to use upstream Hermes and it got further. Really tired of how hard it is to get an Expo app running with react-native-macos, though. Just sucks the energy out of you after doing it manually for the hundredth time. About time Create Expo had a template for it.

After 6+ years of failed experiments, it's finally working. Direct native API access from JS in React Native 🥹 Access the full iOS SDK – like a native dev. Cross threads – like a native dev. Today, my brother in JavaScript, you are a native dev.

@birch_js @jmeistrich @jamonholmgren @SaadNajmi You need to update getModulesRunBeforeMainModule and resolveRequest. Here is an example of how to properly configure metro to use Expo CLI github.com/expo/orbit/blo…

@birch_js @jmeistrich @jamonholmgren @SaadNajmi Are you following microsoft.github.io/react-native-m…?

@jmeistrich @jamonholmgren I got it all set up, but (even without touching NativeScript), the macOS app crashes on launch. @SaadNajmi to what extent does react-native-macos@0.79.0 support Hermes and New Arch? @donadeldev Is there a recommended way to initialise a react-native-macos app with Expo support?

Building apps is easier than ever. But shipping is still brutal. Until now. 🚀Meet Expo Launch: the fastest way to get your app to the app store ◆ Skip config ◆ Skip certificates ◆ Skip the maze Press “Launch” → land in TestFlight. More details in the blog from @cedric_dev below ↓

We have published a new docs website for React Native macOS! This is one of the common asks ("better docs") I've gotten for the library, and I'm excited to see what we can add.

Great to see new libraries popping up! Just a heads-up — this "standard" has already been set by expo-image for years. It offers all of this functionality and integrates smoothly with other Expo SDK libraries like expo-camera, expo-image-manipulator, expo-video and more.

@jaisadarsh123 @Baconbrix @expo What's your supabase version? #discussioncomment-13009879" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/expo/expo/disc…

I'm facing a strange issue where, after starting Expo, the bundler continuously attempts to bundle for the web and gets stuck in a loop. It keeps retrying without completing. Is this a known issue, or is it just happening on my end? @Baconbrix @expo
