Thanks to Expo Router it's easier than ever to build a beautiful app that runs on iOS, Android, and web. With the addition of AI tooling, it's now easier to build an app than it is to deploy one, but it doesn't have to be. Learn about how we've improved Expo Router and how we're making it easier to ship apps everywhere.

ExpoGo, previously known as Exponent, is a tool that allows developers to quickly create and share mobile prototypes globally. It facilitates launching apps in minutes by scanning a QR code to instantly launch a native app, among other features.
Expo has integrated continuous native generation (CNG), allowing the inclusion of custom native code. It also introduced Expo for web, Expo Router for file-based routing, and Expo DOM components for incremental migration from web to universal apps.
Continuous native generation (CNG) is a system where the native runtime is automatically generated based on the React runtime. It allows developers to progressively include native code without diving into tools like Xcode or Android Studio, enhancing development velocity.
Expo for web enables universal apps that run both on the web and natively on mobile devices. It supports SEO, modern CSS tooling, and React 19 features, improving both web and native platforms.
Expo Router is a universal file-based routing system for both native and web platforms. It simplifies navigation by allowing routes to be defined by creating files in the app directory, solving issues like deep linking and type safety.
Yes, because Expo apps are truly native, they have day-one access to new platform features like Apple's Liquid Glass design, without requiring code changes.
MPX create target is a feature in Expo that allows developers to easily add Apple home screen widgets, share extensions, app clips, live activities, and more to their iOS apps.
Expo allows incremental migration using Expo DOM components. Developers can mark components with use DOM to render them in an optimized web view, enabling a step-by-step transition to universal apps.
The Expo server platform includes features like secure environment variables, serverless endpoints, and React server functions to build universal full-stack applications seamlessly and securely.
Expo simplifies app deployment with tools like MPX TestFlight for iOS, which automates building, signing, and uploading apps to TestFlight without needing ad hoc provisioning or expensive hardware.
