Reviewer scorecard
“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
