exciting news: we'll be rolling out the New Architecture version of the app over the course of the next 7 days, starting with Android. look forward to your app being smoother and more performant 🏎️💨

You need speed. Slow builds kill momentum. We're addressing this from every angle: ◆ Dozens of new M4 Pro/Max Mac Minis added ◆ Compiler caching, Gradle caching, prebuilt binaries ◆ Prebuilt XCFrameworks ◆ Fingerprint workflows so you only build when native code changes expo.dev/blog/build-f...

Build fast, no matter what: how Expo is optimizing for speed (and how you can, too)

New M4 Mac Minis, compiler caching, and prebuilt binaries are speeding up EAS builds. Learn how to build less often with fingerprints and OTA updates.

It’s amazing to hear that Expo were successful with their Series B - congrats! 👏 There’s so many awesome things coming out of their stables at the minute, just look at the release notes on the past few SDK updates. Excited to see what’s ahead and can’t wait to play around with Expo Agent too 🤓

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
