Announcing the 2026 π Expo App Awards π
The talent, the care, and the craft we see in the Expo community is staggering. There are powerful, beautiful, important apps getting built with Expo tools and services every day.
The π Expo App Awards is a celebration of the apps d them.
Last year we had over 1,200 submissions and winners from big enterprises, solo devs (we hired one of them @DaehyeonMun!), and tiny startups that have grown and been acquired.
The award categories are:
π Expo App of the Year
π Most Creative
π Community's Choice
π Largest Scale
π Most Innovative
Submission criteria is simple: if your app uses Expo you should submit it.
We encourage you to explain what is special about your app in the submission form. For example, if you have unique haptics, or clever Live Activities, or a super nuanced onboarding experience please share that in your submission.
Submissions begin today and go through the end of the month. Then we'll begin evaluating and announcing nominees/winners.

Looks like your Mac CI runner just became optional.
e2e runs iOS and Android tests on Expo Simulators from Linux, on every pull request.
There are a lot of reasons to love this. Tough to narrow it down...more confidence in every PR is probably the best thing.

Testing iOS apps in CI usually means paying for a Mac.
With e2e and @expo Simulators, your iOS and Android tests run in the cloud on every pull request, with no Mac in your CI.

The Expo plugin is back in Codex π
, and this time it has skills and the Expo MCP Server together in one plugin.
So when you ask Codex to build or ship an Expo app, it's working from the real docs instead of guessing. This is a head-start for getting yourself into agentic a.
One line to add it: πππππ‘ ππππππ πππ ππ‘πππΈ@ππππππ-πππππππ

Exact is stupid fast. 120fps scrolling, near-instant startup, and web perf right up there with Astro.
You write UI in Contract, a typed language that's built by @ccheever and agents for agents.
Right now Exact is pre-alpha - we're sharing it because we want more users/feedback. Have your agent try it:

I want to share a preview of something I've been working on called Exact. It's a new Agent Native app framework written in Rust. It's extremely fast and tries to let you build exactly the experience you want with no compromises.

Cloud Sims are a massive piece of the agentic mobile development loop.
Expo has become an agentic mobile infrastructure company and the Cloud Sims combined with our cloud builds, OTA updates, submissions and observability unlock truly agentic development.

I'm trying out @expo cloud agents. The live session is slick and fast. Been on the hunt for the best cloud sim experience. Let me know what you are using.

π If you're using Devin on an π Expo app, there's an official plugin for it now.
The plugin has skills for building, deploying, upgrading, and debugging, so the agent isn't guessing its way through.
It's in the @devindevelopers marketplace. Open "Customize", then Browse or Expo.

Highly recommend running /insights occasionally when using Claude Code: it analyses your past conversations and suggests skills and prompts you could use to optimise your workflow

A father wanted to help his son learn how to read. So he built an app.
Now that app is used by families and schools all over the world.
We love this story because it's how a lot of fantastic apps begin: with a real personal need.
