We think apps should fix their own bugs. TestFlight feedback comes in. An agent reproduces it, files the issue, writes the fix and runs it on a simulator before opening the PR. Our Cloud Simulators service is in preview. Here's the waitlist if you want to try it: https://try.expo.dev/agentic-dev-x

SWSH's release pipeline: 𝚎𝚊𝚜 𝚋𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚍 on self-hosted runners, signing credentials in EAS, EAS Submit into both stores, an Appium suite gating the release, and Observe watching time-to-interactive after it ships. There's no human sitting between a merge and App Store review. expo.dev/blog/inside-...

Inside SWSH's automated mobile release pipeline with Expo — Expo blog

SWSH runs 300 builds a month and ships a native release every week. Here's how the team automated the whole pipeline with EAS Build, Submit, Update & Observe.

Install Observe in one command: 𝚗𝚙𝚡 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘-𝚘𝚋𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚎 ...or ask an agent to do it.

🥳 Observe is now generally available! React Native startup and per-screen performance from real devices, with every build and OTA update marked on the chart. Now you can see how your app actually feels to your users. Details in today's blog from @kadi.bsky.social: try.expo.dev/observe-ga-b...

contrary to what might seem reasonable, i think now is an even better time to be building with @expo.dev. live refresh app building was always great, but now with LLMs its doubly amazing. cannot imagine actually building an app with swift or kotlin now tbh

Switching off 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘/𝚟𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛-𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚜 can cut ~4MB from your app bundle. Just from changing an import. The 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚝-𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎-𝚟𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛-𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚜 packages now work natively with 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘-𝚏𝚘𝚗𝚝 across Expo Go, dev builds, everywhere. Migration guide → https://try.expo.dev/vector-icons-bluesky

Moving away from @expo/vector-icons

We cut our repro app's bundle by 4 MB by switching from @expo/vector-icons to @react-native-vector-icons. Here's why we now recommend the change.

What if AI agents use specs, not just prompts, to build software? Watch @ide.bsky.social, co-founder of @expo.dev, explain linked literate programming, a simple approach that keeps code, specifications, and intent in sync so AI can build more accurate, maintainable software. youtu.be/a8xYFd1ZLNQ

One of my favorite things about the Demos app is that every update generates a slightly different app icon, so it's always a nice little surprise.

Expo SDK 57 will be the easiest upgrade you've ever made. One command. No breaking changes. And boom, you're on React Native 0.86. It's also the first step toward a new release cadence we're considering: optional, non-breaking upgrades between the big SDKs: try.expo.dev/bluesky-sdk57
