Expo SDK 58 Targets iPhone Duo Layouts
Expo SDK 58 adds expo-hinge for live hinge angle and fold-state readings, alongside Expo UI’s native ArrangementView for adaptive split and stacked layouts. The accompanying example shows how React Native apps can respond to folding hardware without hardcoding device-specific layouts.
// ANALYSIS
Expo is making foldable support feel like a native layout capability instead of another device-detection problem.
- –ArrangementView delegates adaptive pane placement to SwiftUI, including split layouts around the hinge.
- –expo-hinge exposes angle, availability, and posture state for interaction and telemetry.
- –The example tracks session minimums, maximums, and hinge events, making the APIs easy to evaluate.
- –Developers still need native builds and iOS 27.1+ for the full ArrangementView experience.
- –This is useful infrastructure for foldables, though its immediate audience is narrower than Expo’s mainstream mobile base.
