The @joinrosebud team built their entire native app on Expo. It was a great technical decision. But it was also a great business decision. Why? ◆ They shipped in 5 months with just 3 engineers ◆ Shared 70% of code across web + mobile ◆ Used OTA updates to fix onboarding bugs

Send @Expo a note if your product needs "[Any] iOS code-to-app in the App Store" infrastructure.
Why this matters: EAS is the most polished CI/CD service for mobile apps, and it's great to see it become available for single platform iOS/Android devs. I'm sure it will be baked-in as a first party support soon, but in the meantime @_pmleczek came up with a solution!

Many such cases! Now’s the best time to upgrade to SDK 54 and the new architecture!
We just bumped our @appjsconf app from @expo SDK52 → SDK54 and ran some performance checks on iOS. 🚀 Check out the video and go to 🧵to see what we’ve learned

3 ways to fast-forward writing your @Expo CI/CD YAML files. 1.) Prompt fast with "Open in ChatGPT", feed the syntax reference to your favorite LLM 2.) "Copy Markdown" for LLM-friendly text for your own system prompts https://t.co/m5W0sMx3xJ 3.) Install the "Expo Tools"
🤔 Still writing 100+ lines of YAML for mobile CI? With EAS Workflows, you can build, test, and release React Native apps using prebuilt jobs and just 6 lines of config. Less setup. Fewer bugs. Faster shipping. https://t.co/CPm4KdjWjd
