npx @buildinternet/releases get expoRecently shipped the Expo SDK 58 beta and one-command PostHog setup.
SDK 58 beta targets iOS 27. The beta runs three to four weeks with fixes landing continuously, and it's shippable now if you need iOS 27 support. React Native 0.88 is still a release candidate, so SDK 58 stable follows RN 0.88 stable.
PostHog setup is now one command. eas integrations:posthog:connect creates your PostHog org and project, installs the React Native SDK, and wires up app.json — or links an existing project. EAS Workflows can emit matching events through posthog_capture_event.
Simulator sessions gained preview and capture tooling.
eas simulator:start and :get report the expo.dev preview page instead of a raw tunnel URL in printed output and --json; Share copies that page.--network-capture records HTTP(S) traffic from apps on the device, optionally keeping headers and bodies.--egress local now works on Android, with refused destinations logged as warnings.--build-fingerprint installs the newest build matching a fingerprint.EAS CLI v24 requires Node ^20.18.3 || >=22.0.0 and renamed the Observe schema. --json from eas observe:* uses name/value instead of metricName/metricValue, and observe:events lists user-defined events only — exceptions moved to eas observe:errors.
Smaller EAS CLI additions.
eas channel:protect and :unprotect manage EAS Update channel protection, shown in channel list and view output.--force-end-active-rollout ends an in-progress rollout on eas update and its rollback and republish variants.--upload-source-maps uploads source maps with eas update; workflow:ssh accepts build IDs.eas build --wait prints logs, and scoped tokens without primary-account access can log in.Node.js 20 is deprecated with a warning at runtime, and a future release will require Node.js 22 or newer. Added the eas/run_agent build step that runs Claude Code or Codex connected to the Expo MCP server, plus MCP sandbox file reads and artifact uploads.
Fixed eas simulator create leaving a server-created simulator session running when Ctrl+C lands during creation.
Adds the eas/upload_embedded_bundle step for custom build configs, which uploads the embedded bundle from custom builds that use eas/build. The eas update:view --json output now includes assetMapUrl and sourceMapUrl as signed download URLs or null, plus fixes for iOS network capture, macOS simulator previews, and workflow:ssh handling of missing build IDs.
EAS Observe records native crashes alongside JavaScript errors with no setup, covering uncaught Java and Kotlin exceptions and OS crash records on Android plus Mach exceptions, Unix signals, and uncaught Objective-C and Swift exceptions on iOS. Requires updating to expo-observe 57.0.21 or later on SDK 57; error reporting is in preview.
Added browser device login with resumable commands for chat agents and iOS Simulator session recording through serve-sim. Also retries App Store Connect connection failures with safe recovery for interrupted status reads and upload commits.
Adds eas integrations:supabase:advisors to list unresolved Supabase Security and Performance Advisor findings for the linked project, and accepts individual App Store Connect API keys for submissions, TestFlight setup, and metadata. Also added --build-fingerprint to eas simulator and fixed eas account:view printing Role: undefined for the Release Manager role.
iOS Simulator previews now stream with H.264, and simulator sessions report the expo.dev preview page as their preview URL and the preview server behind it as previewApiUrl. eas simulator:start and eas simulator:get report the expo.dev preview page instead of the raw tunnel URL in printed instructions and --json, and package manager overrides are now honored when installing and launching simulator packages.
SDK 58 beta is built for iOS 27 and bundles React Native 0.88 release candidate, with a three-to-four-week beta period before stable. It adds expo-app-intents for exposing Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Apple Intelligence intents from JavaScript, plus an Expo CLI Device Hub integration for Xcode 27 and expo-device-hub browser dashboards for simulators. Apps now use the UIKit scene-based life cycle, so projects customizing AppDelegate.swift need the scene life cycle migration.
EAS CLI now requires Node ^20.18.3 or >=22.0.0, dropping Node 18. In --egress local sessions, a guard injected into every iOS Simulator process refuses connections that bypass the system proxy and reports them with calling frameworks in the session log, and proxy environment variables are set inside the simulator for clients that read them such as gRPC and libcurl. Build-tools also skip project source refresh for jobs with no sources.
eas simulator:start adds --egress local and an --egress-allow <host:port> flag, with localhost and 127.0.0.1 entries forwarded from the simulator host's loopback interface so dev server URLs work through local egress. The new eas/start_local_egress build-tools step routes iOS simulator HTTP(S) traffic through a reverse tunnel to the EAS CLI machine.
