Phil took a deep look at the dependency issues thatβve been plaguing React Native for years. You can try the results in Expo SDK 54 today, and read about our solution below β¬οΈ.
Expo SDK 54's stable release is coming soon! π . Behind the scenes, changes to autolinking & dependencies make updates easier, and improve support across package managers for workspaces & isolated dependencies. Check out my write-up with a detailed breakdown of these changes β

The top two iOS dev tools apps generate Expo apps πͺ. Expo is truly becoming the best way to build for Apple platforms.
VibeCode is officially a Top Grossing app on the Apple App Store. According to AppFigures, it trails only Replit in the Developer Tools category for the US. The race for vibecoded apps is on

Agents were failing to fix issues with third-party packages, so we added much richer error messages to Expo SDK 54. Everything from Replit to Bolt will now get cleaner context and produce better apps π

So excited to see π Launch already being used to ship fun prototypes in a single day.
100% working prototype deployed to testflight in one day with .- crud for quests .- experience and levels .- achievements .- multiple theme support .- the wizard .- hold and drag to sort quests (hard stuff). Couldn't have done it without @expo launch

In Expo SDK 54, we enabled import stacks which print a list of files leading up to an error. This radically improves an agent's ability to automatically fix issues, even if they exist deep inside third-party packages.

ο£Ώ Apple's advice on building splash screens:. 1. Downplay the experience.2. No text, branding, or ads.3. Hide it asap. Don't waste precious milliseconds loading any extra UI, just get right to the app.
