Expo UI is production-ready 🎨. Real SwiftUI on iOS, real Jetpack Compose on Android, from one set of components. No more .ios and .android forks for the parts that should just be swift or kotlin. try.expo.dev/ui-twitter

Heads up: you might get an email from GitHub asking you to approve new permissions for the Expo GitHub bot. It's legit, it's from us. We're shipping new agentic features for the bot and GitHub requires the permission update first. Click approve when you see it. New stuff is coming...

New cross-platform localStorage API in SDK 54
💡 Did you know there's a new spec-compliant `localStorage` API in @Expo SDK 54! The sync API is easier than AsyncStorage, and works across platforms with no additional overhead on web. Built for New Architecture and uses our powerful new SQLite native module for fast I/O.
