Bump @expo/devcert to ^1.2.2, @expo/ws-tunnel to ^2.0.1, and @expo/xcpretty to ^4.4.6. (#50955 by @kitten)
@expo/devcert to ^1.2.2, @expo/ws-tunnel to ^2.0.1, and @expo/xcpretty to ^4.4.6. (#50955 by @kitten)node_modules when logging server rendering errors, so they are symbolicated instead of printed raw. (#50974 by @ramonclaudio)createJsInspectorMiddleware's Content-Length header to reflect the UTF-8 byte length of the response, instead of its UTF-16 string length, which undersized the header for any inspector app metadata (e.g. a device name) containing non-ASCII characters. (#49305 by @Rakshit-gen)semver to ^7.7.4. (#50391 by @hassankhan)Resolve Android resource names and drawable-* folders with @react-native/asset-utils, matching how React Native resolves embedded assets at runtime. S
drawable-* folders with @react-native/asset-utils, matching how React Native resolves embedded assets at runtime. Scales outside the standard set map to a drawable-<n>dpi folder instead of failing the export, and assets referenced through ?unstable_path= drop that prefix from their resource name. (#50861 by @huntie)react-native/Libraries/Image/AssetRegistry import to the shared asset registry. React Native 0.87 removed this module, which broke libraries that still import it, such as @shopify/react-native-skia on web. (#50887 by @1kuko3)CorsMiddleware's local-hostname check to require a literal dot between IPv4 octets, instead of an unescaped regex wildcard that let non-loopback hostnames starting with 127 (e.g. 127a1b1c1) bypass the dev server's cross-origin request guard. (#49302 by @Rakshit-gen)Emit {scheme}://?__expo_url={manifestUrl} development build launch URLs instead of the legacy {scheme}://expo-development-client/?url={manifestUrl} fo
Emit {scheme}://?__expo_url={manifestUrl} development build launch URLs instead of the legacy {scheme}://expo-development-client/?url={manifestUrl} form.
Add EXPO_NO_DEV_MENU=1 to append the reserved __expo_* params that keep the dev menu closed to Expo Go and development build launch URLs: the terminal URL, the QR code, /_expo/link, /_expo/open, expo start --ios/--android and expo run:*.
(#50290 by @gabrieldonadel)
Debug in the name and production otherwise in expo run:ios. (#49555 by @ramonclaudio)debuggableVariants to pick the mode in expo run:android. (#50204 by @ramonclaudio)expo start --help that setting CI=1 turns off file watching and Fast Refresh, and how to run without the interactive UI instead. (#50843 by @huntie)EXPO_UNSTABLE_TUNNEL_V2 env flag, and instead make Expo Tunnels the default. --tunnel ngrok may be used to switch to the legacy tunnels. (#50829 by @kitten)Force-bump all packages, due to migration to changesets. (#50762 by @kitten)
[Internal] Fix the BundleOptions import in internal/unstable-expo-updates-exports.d.ts, which pointed at a subpath @expo/metro doesn't ship. (#50651 b

@expo/ui
accessibilityHidden modifier to hide decorative views from VoiceOver and other assistive technologies during element traversal. (#46579 by @ramonclaudio)accessibilityIdentifier modifier to set a stable identifier for UI testing tools such as XCUITest. (#46556 by @ramonclaudio)dynamicTypeSize modifier to set or constrain the Dynamic Type size within a view. Accepts a single size or a { min, max } range, and cascades from <Host> to bound how far text scales at the largest accessibility sizes. (#46540 by @ramonclaudio)children prop to Label component, allowing custom title views (e.g. a VStack with title and subtitle) while preserving native icon spacing and Dynamic Type icon sizing.buttonBorderShape SwiftUI modifier, which reshapes a styled button (for example a glass button) while preserving its native press effect. (#46348 by @nishan) (#46348 by @intergalacticspacehighway)NavigationBar and NavigationBarItem components.listRowSpacing modifier. (#46417 by @qiyangdev)Image component. (#46183 by @cinques)<DisclosureGroup.Label> for custom label style. (#46288 by @kudo)<Collapsible.labelStyle> for custom label style. (#46288 by @kudo)dropShadow and innerShadow modifiers. (#46364 by @duyanhv)imageScale modifier to scale SF Symbols within a view relative to the surrounding text (small, medium, large). (#46774 by @ramonclaudio)onGloballyPositioned modifier, which reports a composable's window position and size. (#46744 by @nishan) (#46744 by @intergalacticspacehighway)onGeometryChange modifier to also report the view's global position (x/y) alongside its size. (#46744 by @nishan) (#46744 by @intergalacticspacehighway)minimumScaleFactor modifier to let text shrink down to a given fraction of its size before truncating. (#46740 by @nishan) (#46740 by @intergalacticspacehighway)get() / set() accessors to useNativeState, as an alternative to reading and writing .value. (#46690 by @nishan) (#46692 by @intergalacticspacehighway)BasicTextField component. (#46442 by @nishan) (#46442 by @intergalacticspacehighway)accessibilityInputLabels modifier to set alternative spoken phrases Voice Control uses to refer to a view (for example "Hang up" for an "End" button). (#46661 by @ramonclaudio)activityBackgroundTint modifier for setting Live Activity background. (#46756 by @jakex7)modifiers prop to ListItem to override its default buttonStyle(.plain). (#47124 by @nishan) (#47124 by @intergalacticspacehighway)seedColor prop to the universal and SwiftUI <Host>, used as the SwiftUI tint on iOS and to derive the primary color scale on web. (#46566 by @zoontek)colorScheme prop on <Host> to override the system color scheme for its subtree, matching native parity. (#46459 by @zoontek)accessibilityElement modifier, which collapses a view's subtree into a single accessibility element via ignore, combine, or contain.

expo-modules-jsi
JavaScriptObject.setProperty(_:function:) overloads that create a sync or async host function from the given closure. (#46622 by @tsapeta)JavaScriptUnownedValue, a non-owning, non-copyable value that borrows a jsi::Value for the zero-copy argument-decode fast path. (#46616 by @tsapeta)JavaScriptError can now wrap and throw an arbitrary JS value (not only an Error instance) via init(_:value:), preserving the thrown value's identity when it reaches JavaScript. (#47154 by @tsapeta)createFunction/setProperty overloads taking a UnownedThisSyncFunctionClosure, which receives this as a borrowed JavaScriptUnownedValue instead of an owning JavaScriptValue. Used by host functions that ignore this to skip the per-call owning-value allocation and its weak-runtime traffic. (#46949 by @tsapeta)JavaScriptRuntime to Identifiable with an id based on the underlying runtime, equal across multiple wrappers of the same runtime. (#47068 by @tsapeta)expo-media-library
expo-modules-core
@Record macro that synthesizes a record from a type's stored properties, with no @Field wrappers needed. (#46547 by @tsapeta)@Event macro that turns a function-typed var on a module or shared object into a typed JavaScript event. (#46938 by @tsapeta)@ExpoModule now synthesizes the module's JavaScript name from the class name or its @ExpoModule("CustomName") argument, so a Name(…) definition entry is no longer required. (#46938 by @tsapeta)SharedObject.native(from:) that recovers the native shared object paired with a JavaScript object, with a generic overload that returns the concrete subclass directly. (#47054 by @tsapeta)Module.emit that sends an event directly to the module's own JavaScript object, mirroring SharedObject.emit. Both now share an EventEmitter protocol. (#46555 by @tsapeta)expo-linking

activityBackgroundTint (#46929 by @theeket)listRowInsets modifier being ignored when every edge is set to 0, so a row can now reset all of its insets. (#47000 by @nishan) (#47000 by @intergalacticspacehighway)FieldGroup rendering an empty row/section when a conditional child (e.g. {condition && <FieldGroup.Section>…</FieldGroup.Section>}) evaluates to false.

(#46851 by @nishan) (#46851 by @intergalacticspacehighway)modifiers having no effect when the component derives a modifier of the same type from its props, e.g. buttonStyle on Button always losing to the variant prop. (#46815 by @nishan) (#46815 by @intergalacticspacehighway)expand() and Compose handler registration on ModalBottomSheet. Adds initialFullyExpanded prop to drive initial snap state natively.

(#46805 by @nishan) (#46805 by @intergalacticspacehighway)Pressable) on community/pager-view pages not responding, or triggering the wrong page's handler, after navigating between pages. (#46778 by @nishan) (#46778 by @intergalacticspacehighway)font, dynamicTypeSize, and resizable modifiers not applying to the SwiftUI Image. SF Symbols scale with Dynamic Type when a font modifier sets a textStyle. (#46714 by @ramonclaudio)ScrollView nested scrolling inside BottomSheet. (#46544 by @nishan) (#46544 by @intergalacticspacehighway)Host with matchContents is used inside React Native Screens. (#46604 by @nishan) (#46604 by @intergalacticspacehighway)PagerView offsetting ScrollView by safe area insets. (#46637 by @nishan) (#46637 by @intergalacticspacehighway)SegmentedControl being overlapped by sibling components inside a ScrollView, by disabling the Host safe area insets. (#46575 by @nishan) (#46575 by @intergalacticspacehighway)DateTimePicker, MenuView, Picker, and Slider applying safe area insets (including keyboard avoidance) twice, by disabling the Host safe area insets (ignoreSafeArea="all"). (#46721 by @nishan) (#46721 by @intergalacticspacehighway)TextField jiggling the surrounding content while its label animates on focus (a Material 3 expressive motion spring overshoot). (#46568 by @nishan) (#46568 by @intergalacticspacehighway)BottomSheet animating open from the bottom-left corner in fitToContents mode. (#46546 by @nishan) (#46546 by @intergalacticspacehighway)TextField and SecureField worklet onTextChange firing more than once per keystroke (when a change triggers reformatting) and on programmatic text updates. (#46483 by @nishan) (#46483 by @intergalacticspacehighway)font modifier dropping Dynamic Type scaling (relativeTo) and weight on concatenated Text runs. The Text-concatenation path now resolves the same Font as the view path. (#46509 by @ramonclaudio)TextInput ignoring style backgroundColor / borderWidth and not applying textAlign to the placeholder. (#46441 by @duyanhv)Switch alignment when label is provided (#47088 by @rklomp)ListItem stretching a fixed-size raw RN view in its leading/trailing slot to fill the row instead of honoring its size, matching Android.

(#47206 by @vioodle) (#47213 by @nishan) (#47213 by @vioodle, @intergalacticspacehighway)FlatList) inside @expo/ui/community/bottom-sheet not scrolling when the <BottomSheet> is mounted inside another same-orientation list (such as a FlatList header).

bannerTitle and serverEntryPoint options to the DevTools plugin module config. (#46764 by @krystofwoldrich)expo-modules-jsi
JavaScriptRef per call: the arguments buffer is now built inside the synchronous assumeIsolated closure instead of being boxed to cross the closure boundary, removing a heap allocation and its retain/release/dealloc from every host call (measured ~10% faster on the no-op @JS host-call floor). (#46949 by @tsapeta)JavaScriptNativeState can now back any jsi::NativeState subtype via a void * factory, so consumers without Swift/C++ interop (e.g. expo-modules-core) can supply their own pointee. expo::NativeState ships from the xcframework as a public C++ header. (#46330 by @tsapeta)NativeArrayBuffer arguments no longer copy the buffer when it's already native-backed. (#46448 by @barthap)JavaScriptUnownedValue and JavaScriptValuesBuffer now cache the runtime as the immortal facebook.jsi.IRuntime instead of the ARC-managed JavaScriptRuntime wrapper, removing per-call retain/release on the argument-decode hot path (measured ~16% faster addNumbers, ~24% faster addStrings). (#46792 by @tsapeta)getExpoNativeState now probes with the specialized hasNativeState<jsi::NativeState> and dynamic-casts the raw pointer once, avoiding a redundant dynamic_pointer_cast on the shared object argument unwrap hot path.

process function that unwraps shared objects to their registry id, so callers can pass shared objects directly as view props instead of unwrapping them manually. (#46212 by @tsapeta)@ExpoModule now synthesizes a _decorateModule that binds the module's @JS functions directly onto the JS object, letting the module holder skip the dynamic definition path for synthesized modules. (#46612 by @tsapeta)react-native-worklets ^0.9.0 in peer dependencies. (#46950 by @zoontek)updateEdgeToEdgeFeatureFlag (#46335 by @zoontek)JavaScriptDecodable / JavaScriptEncodable (composed as JavaScriptCodable), a statically-dispatched, non-erasing conversion path between JavaScript and native values for Expo Modules v2, with conformances for primitives, containers, records, enumerables and Data. (#46893 by @tsapeta)appContext parameter from the JavaScriptCodable conversions; conversions that need the app context now recover it from the runtime via the new public AppContext.from(runtime:). (#47111 by @tsapeta)JavaScriptCodable now maps Int64/UInt64 to a JS BigInt for lossless 64-bit round-tripping, and Int/UInt throw when encoding a value outside JavaScript's safe-integer range. (#46939 by @tsapeta)Exceptions.ArgumentsRangeMismatch exception, thrown by synthesized @JS function bindings when a JavaScript caller passes a number of arguments outside the accepted range. (#46901 by @tsapeta)SharedObject::NativeState now derives from expo::NativeState so the Swift wrapper can be recovered from the JS side via getNativeState, laying the groundwork for native-state-based shared object lookup. (#46330 by @tsapeta)SharedObject is now paired with its JS counterpart through a SharedObjectNativeState attached to the JS object, so registry lookups in both directions go through the native state and fall back to the legacy id-based path. (#46712 by @tsapeta)NativeArrayBuffer arguments no longer copy the buffer when it's already native-backed. (#46448 by @barthap)react-native-worklets holder instead of the reanimated _WORKLET_RUNTIME global; installOnUIRuntime now takes the holder from getUIRuntimeHolder().
