Feature Requests

We need this feature for both of the platforms. This is an essential feature. Expo must add this to its' built-in modules: https://github.com/alinz/react-native-share-extension [1] https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/send [2] https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/ExtensibilityPG/Share.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014214-CH12-SW1

Currently, the expo-av library doesn't provide a way to select the audio input source (e.g., built-in microphone, external microphone) in React Native Expo apps. This limits flexibility and user experience. Proposed Solution: Add a new API to expo-av that allows developers to enumerate available audio input devices. Provide a way to select a specific input device and use it for recording. Consider supporting both iOS and Android platforms. Additional Considerations: Permissions: Ensure that the necessary permissions are requested to access audio input devices. Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to handle cases where the desired input device is not available or permissions are denied. User Interface: Provide a clear and intuitive way for users to select their preferred audio input source.

We need a feature that will decrypt the stream in the device like the HTML HLS player ( https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js ) which supports AES-128 decryption

Add React Native PDF to Expo Go app. Be able to show a local pdf without having to export Expo project.

Is this something Expo could ever do? Like be able to integrate with the iOS widgets screen?

Currently we are limited to localhost , lan , or tunnel for where we want to host our locally served web app. I'd like to be able to customize the host to an entry in my /etc/hosts file. This allows us to have a more secure infra by not allowing localhost to hit our backend APIs, and allowing for a specified host that's not public to hit our backend. Features like this are currently supported in vite and webpack . It seems like metro supports this, but the start script for expo throws an error if we don't use localhost , lan, or tunnel Please reach out if you have any questions, or have a quick workaround. This is crucial for us to develop locally on web Thanks in advance

When updating permissions for a given app, it seems that the state of the app is lost as iOS sends a SIGKILL signal. However, this seems to be possible using shouldSaveSecureApplicationState & shouldRestoreSecureApplicationState. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplicationdelegate#1657087

Healthcare apps often handle sensitive images requiring encryption to comply with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR. Currently, Expo lacks a native solution, forcing developers to rely on external libraries or custom logic. Why It Matters: Regulatory Compliance: Simplifies adherence to data protection laws. Ease of Use: Provides a secure, built-in API for image encryption and decryption. Healthcare Adoption: Positions Expo as a go-to framework for healthcare apps.

Allow to set an alternative splash screen color and image when device is set to dark mode. If it is possible to customize the status bar the same way would be brilliant.

I'd love the ability to have images in push notifications! We're an image-centric messaging app, so rich pushes would go a long way for us.
