initialize a new
@expo
project in ~1.25s using
@bunjavascript
and create-expo(-app)!
both npm and yarn classic take ~15s, so bun looks like it's about ~12x faster for me in this case.

hey react-native community, i need some help!
we don't have a go-to place to find react-native packages. we've been working on making that place, and to ensure that the libraries are properly labeled we opted for maintaining a list by hand.

do people in other professions have to deal with incomplete / vague / weird questions as much as developers providing support for other developers?
- "hello i have an animal pet in my home, how do i avoid it from dying?"
- "hi my money is not enough, how do i make it more?"

👀👀👀 you can now use expo over-the-air updates in any react native app! 🌈🌈🌈
🏁 `npm i -g expo-cli && expo init` to create a project with expo-updates installed & configured. this video shows how you can test it locally with release builds 📺

one of my favorite new things with
@expo
sdk33 is custom client builds for ios. we run a build for you and sign it with your ad-hoc provisioning profile, and then it can run on any device associated with that profile. add more devices easily at build time by just opening a url

i don't know who needs to hear this, but.... we are hiring developers with deep ios and/or android experience at

we've supported the new architecture in expo sdk for a while now (and all libraries built with the expo modules api also support it out of the box!), so it was overdue for us to write a guide on how to try out the new architecture in your app

i love this description of monorepos from the

increasingly i find developers creating monorepos without knowing what they are signing themselves up for. they end up frustrated, running into all sorts of esoteric tooling problems and incompatibilities.

it sounds really stupid, but this $99 ember mug that keeps coffee at your exact desired temperature, controlled over bluetooth, is amazing. apparently 58.5°C is my ideal coffee temperature.
you can block me by clicking the button with three dots on my profile, i'll understand.

your goal when creating an issue on a github repo should be to convince the maintainers that the issue is caused by a bug in the library and not by your app code. the easiest way to do this is to provide a minimal, complete, and runnable example.

that was pretty easy to add to my app that uses expo-router! some quirks depending on the libs you're using in your app still (eg: bottom-sheet not working with v3 yet, dev-client with reanimated v3 crashes on reload often) but this is exciting!
Good things come to those who wait – today it is the stable V3 release of React Native Reanimated with Shared Element Transitions, DX improvements, perf upgrades, lower memory usage and more... Read our announcement post 👉

a couple nice features that landed in EAS Build recently:
- eas build:resign - re-sign a build after adding a new device to your ad hoc device list, without creating a new build. much faster than running a whole new build!
- eas build:run - download, install, and run a sim build

i worked on react-navigation from v1 to v4 and have since mostly handed it off to

and
@mosdnk
, and i'm super proud of the work that they have done here.
@reactnavigation
has a great future ahead of it! also, thanks to
@expo
and
@swmansion
for funding this work 🥰
We are incredibly proud to announce the stable 5th version of React Navigation today. Component-based API, first-class TypeScript autocompletion and much more. 🎉🥳😍

what does your react native app deployment process look like?
do you do everything manually or use fastlane?
do you kick off releases with a ci service or locally?
how do you share your signing credentials (keystore, certs) with team?
how do you increment versions?
what else?

for bare react-native apps:
`npx uri-scheme list`
`npx uri-scheme add myapp`
`yarn ios`
`yarn android`
`npx uri-scheme open myapp://`
that's pretty cool

the "expo-*" prefix means that a package supports _all_ of the following platforms: ios, android, and web. (where possible)
the "react-native-*" prefix means the package supports _one or more_ of the following platforms: ios, android, web, windows, macos.

tip: find a sport you love and practice it at least once a week so you enjoy using your body for exercise (e-sports don't count). for me it's running, maybe you'd like weightlifting or badminton or hockey, doesn't really matter. use your body for fun while you can
