I am rather proud of my React Advanced 2024 talk, "Expo Prebuild, Demystified", though I think few people have seen it.
I promise you you'll learn something new about Prebuild and Templates, even as an experienced Expo dev. Just look at these nice slides!

i *know* that there can’t be any random accumulating state inside my ios/ and android/ folders because they get rebuilt from scratch every time there’s a native-related change
it’s like react for xcode/gradle bs. rerender those folders

windows update broke armory crate so my RGB fans are just white now and I'm realizing, why did I leave that installed on the prebuild at all in the first place? I don't even like RGB fans.

💗: I am cursed with loving Tycoon games but having enough aphantasia to where I can't imagine anything that I want to build.
I can really only copy what I see others do, or use prebuild structures and layouts. Anything else becomes just a jumbled mess of "this fits".

Big update to VersionMacros - macro naming conventions recognized by Prebuild scripts are now customizable! I also redid the error handling so the files/lines that caused failures are better communicated.

Furthermore, while Atlus still hasn't done anything with the series in the last 15 years, we can always rely on indie devs to pick up the slack!
Enter Cutting Edge! I was made aware of this from the dev themselves a little bit ago and having played the prebuild, it's very promising! Check it out!

It’s called DreamBox 2 and the company is Create Room. They’re real expensive (as is most real furniture, I guess), but at least I got it with a bunch of Valentines deals they were running that knocked like 400 off the dreambox and 500 off the prebuild

Day 10: Expo Config Plugins
In my opinion, possibly the single greatest thing in the #ReactNative ecosystem, even better than New Architecture. Config plugins fix SO much pain, and go hand-in-hand with the prebuild process, together enabling what's called Continuous Native Generation (or CNG)

Day 9: Expo and #ReactNative
As someone who’s gone from actively avoiding @expo.dev to never shutting up about it, I’m trying hard not to make this sound like a love letter. Coming back to appdev after years of @nextjs.org, I felt right at home.

Day 8: Hermes, Yoga and Metro
Back when #ReactNative was being built, Facebook needed foundational technologies that, at the time, did not exist (or were too young). Yoga, Metro, Yarn, Jest AND Docusaurus all came from Facebook that year, and it was a very cool year for open source.

What's on your wishlist for React Native in 2025?
For me:
- react-native-macos/windows to fully support New Arch and enable it as default.
- Web/CSS conformance.
- Expo to implement basic macOS & Windows support (mainly app templates – Prebuild can come later).
- Node.js native addons support.
