Check out new updates and improvements to Expo and EAS from the Expo team.
Researchers have found two new vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches last week. These are new issues, separate from the critical CVE last week. The patch for React2Shell remains effective for the Remote Code Execution exploit.

Expo users who have react-server-dom-webpack installed should upgrade immediately! EAS Hosting has security patches but you still need to upgrade.

Deferred deep linking for Expo Router and itβs open source!
Letβs be honest: most deferred deep linking tools are built for marketers, packed with features youβll never use. π¬ Detour is different β it gives React Native devs exactly what they need for deep links, all in a super simple dashboard. Try it now β itβs free and open-source:

expo/fetch is ~4.15x faster than React Nativeβs fetch when using arrayBufferβ‘οΈ We wrote this for Expo API Routes and React Server Components β you can apply it to any fetch request in your app.
@Baconbrix @jamonholmgren @birch_js @kudochien BTW the diff between the fetch functions is smaller on iOS (except for the arrayBuffer case of course)

Great new RN library from Wassim! Reanimated and Gesture Handler are unmatched primitives.
Probably one of the most fun things I've done in a while: I rebuilt the full iOS Photos app in @expo / @reactnative What looks like a simple app has a crazy amount of thought put into the transitions, layouts, interactions and performance optimizations especially when zooming

Also why React is a goated rendering pattern on iOS and Android.
react fiber is honestly one of those things that people think they get until they actually look under the hood and then suddenly the whole thing feels like some alien technology living inside javascript. everyone parrots those same shallow lines like βfiber is the new diffing

60fps, server-driven SwiftUI? Sounds like React Native.
Truly enjoyed working on the new map in Waymo app, I rewrote it from scratch in SwiftUI, itβs fully server-driven, 60fps with no lag between the map and content. Almost no MapsSDK API usage allowing to do fun things like screenshot testing overlays without the real map beneath π₯Ή

Full deep linking and treating state as query parameters gives you so much control when building widgets and app intents.
Still blows my mind how smooth @expo Router is. Want your widget to open a specific screen? One. Line. The future of React Native dev feels very native π
