Expo SDK 58 ships for iOS 27
Expo SDK 58 brings iOS 27 and React Native 0.88 support, Siri and Apple Intelligence integration through App Intents, an agent-focused CLI, and faster Android builds. It positions Expo as a stronger foundation for AI-assisted mobile development.
// ANALYSIS
SDK 58 is less about flashy APIs than removing friction across the entire mobile workflow.
- –`expo-app-intents` lets JavaScript apps expose actions to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence
- –Precompiled Android Expo modules reduce clean build times by roughly half in Expo’s testing
- –`@expo/agent-cli` gives coding agents clearer commands for development, compatibility checks, screenshots, and skills setup
- –Expo Modules 2.0 replaces its custom DSL with annotated Swift and Kotlin classes, improving both performance and agent usability
- –Teams targeting iOS 27 or foldable experiences have a strong reason to upgrade early
