Thanks Daniel! Your PRs were always great, but also your reviews on some random PRs from the team were very valuable! Thank you for following what's happening in the repo! 🙇‍♂️

Congrats! 👏 I hope it's not the last one 😄

I don't rule out the possibility of returning full-time at some point 😉 For now I want to try to enjoy my unemployment 😂
If you ever need more guidance, just ping me - I'm always happy to help!

Thank you Jamie! Your recent work on react-native-macos stuff is inspiring! 😍
One of the first things I'm going to do as a community contributor is to finally add a CI workflow that builds the test app on macOS 😂

I'm glad to be the top 2 contributor in expo/expo repo at the end of this chapter. The fight for the first place was unequal though. @notbrent.dev pushes a lot of commits directly to the main branch and mostly just in the docs 🤣

Making Expo Modules better and better, improving support for SwiftUI and macOS are still my missions that bring me joy 🫡 It's just going to slow down a bit, depending on my time and resources 💸 If you appreciate my work and want to help me with the latter, my GitHub Sponsors profile is open.

For the next few months I would like to focus more on myself and recharge batteries 🪫
I'll be doing open source contributions to @expo.dev occasionally, as a hobby and simply because I got addicted 🤣 but I won't be part of the core team anymore.

New year, new me. With the arrival of 2025, I'm no longer an employee of @swmansion.com. It's been fun and pleasure to be there for almost 10 years, but I need to take a break from putting all my heart and soul into the full-time job ⌛️

Do yourself a favor and do some sports in 2025! Cheers! 🍻

At least for this year 😂

I'm done, for now

I'm in Valencia 🇪🇸 for the next two weeks 🎄
Do I know someone here? Any recommendations?

Has anyone seen this button in any iOS app? It's a SwiftUI-only view called `ContactAccessButton` introduced in iOS 18 (developer.apple.com/documentatio...).
I wonder how devs are using it, it has so many requirements and seems to be pretty flaky and unusable 😤

Migration to the New Architecture makes the situation even worse. The readme now officially states that it's not supported, even though I think the interop layer should handle it well.

We've never tried to ship it actually. Initially it was made by a group of students at the uni, but we didn't have enough bandwidth to finish and maintain it.
Making expo-image, expo-video and expo-audio were much more essential.

It's unbelievable that after 6 years since Airbnb gave up on React Native, react-native-maps (they originally created it) still uses AIR prefix in the class names. It sounds like no one has taken full responsibility for this package since then. Why?

Happy Friday the 13th 🐈‍⬛

The Witcher 3, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man 2.

I'd also recommend to give Horizon another chance – which one you tried? I love Forbidden West, but you may not feel it if you haven't played Zero Dawn (it recently got remastered)

Thanks for your recent contributions to macOS support! It's quite difficult to maintain so many modules on so many platforms at a good pace.
I'm glad we have people like you in the community! 🥰

expo-video is replacing the now out-dated Video component of expo-av, and soon expo-audio will replace the Audio component of expo-av, making it fully deprecated.

Thanks to all stargazers who played a part in this! 🤩

Support for iPads? 👀

Thanks Jamie for this great contribution! And sorry it took so long 🙈

Just use @expo.dev 𝝠

Nice! I looked at the code on iOS, I think you should make those functions async and run them on the main queue as they use UIKit APIs

ExoPlayer should be put into Google's graveyard

See you there! 👋
