Oct 1, 2025

October 2025 focused on stabilizing core platform features, improving cross‑platform DOM behavior, and delivering a practical Skia demo to accelerate adoption. Key features delivered include Supabase integration cleanup with a local storage switch to expo-sqlite, and DOM host OS exposure as an environment variable (process.env.EXPO_DOM_HOST_OS), plus internal stability improvements such as enhanced type safety, removal of React canary support, and fixes to React Server Components handling. A new Expo Router + Shopify React Native Skia integration example was added to expo/examples to demonstrate end-to-end capabilities. Major fixes include color type improvements, RSC-related stability work, and canary removal cleanup. Overall impact includes reduced polyfill footprint, more reliable storage, better cross‑platform DOM behavior, stronger type safety, and richer onboarding examples. Technologies demonstrated include TypeScript, environment variables in the DOM runtime, Expo modules (expo-ui, expo-modules-core), expo-sqlite, React Server Components, and Skia integration with web lazy loading and custom suspense.
