EAS Observe Adds Native Crash Reporting
EAS Observe now captures native Android and iOS crashes alongside JavaScript errors, with stack traces, session context, release breakdowns, and crash-free session metrics. The preview requires SDK 57+ and expo-observe 57.0.21+; reports upload on the next app launch. [Source](https://docs.expo.dev/eas/observe/errors/)
This moves Observe closer to being an Expo-native reliability layer, though it still has important gaps versus mature crash platforms.
- –Automatically captures Android Java/Kotlin failures and iOS MetricKit crash reports
- –Session timelines and device, OS, release, and country breakdowns make triage more actionable
- –Dashboard handoff to Codex or Claude Code creates a compelling AI-assisted debugging workflow
- –Native symbolication, EAS Update source maps, ANR detection, and out-of-memory reporting remain unavailable
- –Expo teams may still need Sentry or Crashlytics for broader coverage
