Mapbox recently released it's React Native SDK(react-native-mapbox-gl), would be great to get this in Expo.

I have a bug when I use @rnmapbox/maps in my Expo app:
"Invariant Violation: Your JavaScript code tried to access a native module that doesn't exist.
If you're trying to use a module that is not supported in Expo Go, you need to create a development build of your app. See https://docs.expo.dev/development/introduction/ for more info., js engine: hermes
ERROR Invariant Violation: "main" has not been registered. This can happen if:
* Metro (the local dev server) is run from the wrong folder. Check if Metro is running, stop it and restart it in the current project.
* A module failed to load due to an error and
AppRegistry.registerComponent
wasn't called., js engine: hermes"That is a bug! Please help me fix it!

be able to use this in Expo GoDaniel McGrane ⚡️
Yes! Finally, Justice to the devs who have longed for this for years. Thank you

Any Updates?
Evan Bacon
in progress
Update: I've opened a PR to add a prebuild config plugin to
@react-native-mapbox-gl/maps
. When merged, users will be able to add the package to Expo projects built on EAS build, or locally with expo run:ios
and expo run:android
(i.e. after running expo prebuild
to sync the plugin with the native project). We're also still working on the Expo dev client project, which will utilize this proposed config plugin to create a custom dev app that has Mapbox support built-in.
Evan Bacon
The plugin is merged and ready for use! Unfortunately it seems Android R, and simulator support is a bit flakey in the package. I'm going to leave this request open for a bit while they resolve these issues upstream.

Evan Bacon: Hi, any new news?
Evan Bacon
Amin Saedi: you can use the module and plugin today, it's mostly up to the mapbox team to make their module run on Android R. If I find some time I can take a look at fixing it myself.

Evan Bacon: As it stands, will this package work with
eas build
?Michael Wood
Brett: Answering here too: Yes, this works with EAS Build. See my comment on the PR: https://github.com/react-native-mapbox-gl/maps/pull/1388#issuecomment-945917121

Hey folks, we @ TheOutbound.com were interested in using Mapbox GL in Expo, so with the EAS announcement, we built an example project demonstrating how to implement react-native-mapbox-gl in Expo using EAS - github.com/TheOutbound/ExpoMapboxGL.
TLDR - you need to eject and use a bare workflow and disable ARM64 for iOS builds. A step-by-step tutorial is outlined in the Readme. Issues and pull requests are welcome. Hope this example helps others.
Thanks to Expo, Brent Vatne and the EAS team. (BTW, we’re hiring outdoorsy react-native / osm / expo devs who like maps - more info at theoutbound.com/jobs).

I have an issue with <MapboxGL.UserLocation>, the UserIndicator work and display fine on IOS, but with android, it's depends, it sometime work, sometime not, and i realize also, that my MapRef.current.setCamera() is undefined when the UserIndicator doesn't display.
this is my post on stack overflow : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67440184/mapboxgl-react-native-userlocation-indicator-do-not-display-on-map/67440261#67440261

This would really go a long way for developers out here, google maps is becoming expensive by the day, and it’s not as interactive as Mapbox with turn by turn navigation. our whole project has been built on expo, we do not want to eject as the current react native package requires linking

we're focused on making it possible to add any library to managed expo apps, you can read about it here https://blog.expo.io/expo-managed-workflow-in-2021-d1c9b68aa10
