An overview of the latest Expo updates and features, and how they can help you build better React Native apps.

Stay ahead of the curve with the latest updates and upcoming improvements in Expo and React Native. What’s changing, what’s new, and why React Native remains a great investment after a decade.

This session will explore how the 2024 updates streamline development processes, enhance performance, and expand compatibility with various platforms, making it an indispensable tool for developers. We'll demonstrate how Expo's improved hot reloading, increased access to native APIs, and superior debugging tools simplify the creation of complex applications.

In this talk we will examine the state of deploying web apps with React Native web. To meet modern standards, we will use NextJS to deploy to web and Expo to build the native app. In addition, we will take a look how much code can be shared between these two platforms and how easily set a project up.

We will also take a look at cross platform component libraries and libraries that you will be using along the way.
This setup is great for any dev who wants to deploy to multiple platforms, but only wants to write his code once.
