Expo SDK 58 beta adds agent CLI, Siri intents

Expo is transitioning from a mobile cross-platform framework into an agent-native development platform. By incorporating dedicated coding agent tooling and native Siri intent execution into core primitives, the ecosystem is laying the groundwork for apps to be both coded and operated by AI agents.

• –Native Siri App Intents support via expo-app-intents lowers the barrier for React Native apps to integrate deeply into OS-level conversational AI and Shortcuts.
• –The release of @expo/agent-cli signals an intentional shift in developer tooling toward optimizing terminal interactions for autonomous coding agents.
• –Adopting React Native 0.88 RC and Expo Modules 2.0 ensures developers access modern native architecture improvements without sacrificing managed DX.
• –Increased runtime baseline requirements, including Node.js 22, reflect Expo's ongoing focus on streamlining build performance and dropping legacy technical debt.
