contrats, this looks awesome 🙌 will this fix Error code 65 ?

Generally related to the machine and local config, since builds run in clean VMs it should pretty much eliminate the problem.

Yes! You'll be able to import any GitHub repo, including private repos! Agent can make contributions, upgrades, fix bugs, etc.

@ForbiddenSteve No need for the companion app to get the build to a simulator

Evan Bacon 🥓's profile picture
Evan Bacon 🥓7 months ago

@ForbiddenSteve It also installs on device and for Android. What’s the other way though?

muvaf's profile picture
muvaf7 months ago

@ForbiddenSteve Embed our simulators to your web page and install on every build, like Rork Max. No need for a Mac at all

@ForbiddenSteve We use appetize for cloud sims right now but my DMs are open, would love to learn more

Will this also work for already developed apps with Expo?

Evan Bacon 🥓's profile picture
Evan Bacon 🥓7 months ago

Yes! You'll be able to import existing apps and have the agent push to your GitHub repo via the Expo GitHub app.

@Scobleizer Does it work with prebuild too?

Evan Bacon 🥓's profile picture
Evan Bacon 🥓7 months ago

@Scobleizer Yes! It can write entire native modules and even develop entirely in native languages without React.

Can it be used just for native module development as well? Would be awesome to develop and test them in expo agent, then push to the monorepo.

Evan Bacon 🥓's profile picture
Evan Bacon 🥓7 months ago

Yeah, it built me a video compression native module the other day.

It just launched URLs — I asked for a quick one. My preference is @bacons/mdx which now supports remote markdown >:)

Can I use my existing subscriptions (codex, Claude, etc) to build with this or do I need to purchase credits through expo?

Evan Bacon 🥓's profile picture
Evan Bacon 🥓7 months ago

Anthropic may ban an account if the subscription is used outside of Claude Code. The augmentations in Expo Agent like expo/skills, Expo MCP, and EAS CLI can all be used locally with any agent, it's just a bit more work to stitch them altogether

The real moat here is not prompt to app TBH. It is Expo already having SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, and build and deploy infra, so the agent can actually finish the app.

Evan Bacon 🥓's profile picture

It's pretty great to say "Make a simulator build" and see it firing up a high-powered mac with complex error mitigation, robust code signing, and comprehensive build caching fire up.
