About Expo
Extending from build-and-ship into runtime observability and CI primitives.
Expo is in active release mode — SDK 55 landed in February, SDK 56 beta is now out, and the team is filling the gaps with build-time wins (Gradle and compiler caches), new product surfaces (Expo Observe in private preview), and developer-ergo additions like GitHub sign-in. A separate thread on Expo Go's App Store posture keeps recurring, signaling continued platform-store friction.
