Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Jest-compatible API with Vite's speed. ESM and TypeScript work without configuration. The watch mode is instant.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“If you're using Vite, Vitest is the obvious choice. Even without Vite, the speed improvement over Jest is significant.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Vitest is replacing Jest as the default test runner. Speed and modern JavaScript support drive the migration.”
