My favorite new feature at Expo are automatic previews. This has never really existed for native apps before. 😮 See how it works in less than 60 seconds:

@expo I did a talk a while back about this feature (among others) to devs new to React Native and Expo and this blew their minds 🤯 it's such an amazing feature!

@expo Agreed! It's been possible for awhile. Just glad that now it's much easier 😇

@expo Looks great! Just to clarify my understanding: 1) This won't work with development builds...? IE: adding a new dependency, since a whole new app needs to be installed, not just JS changes 2) Each build on PR will count as an EAS build to your billed monthly quota?

@expo 1. It works great with development builds as well. The caveat is that if you change native code, you'll need to make a new development build. Then when you publish a preview update, it'll work again. 2. Correct! You can also build on adding a tag, to better control your quota.

@expo Cool but Expo app on iOS only supporting the latest SDK is kinda annoying.
