It would be great to have out of the box support for realm database.

I can confirm that Realm works with custom dev clients.
Here is an expo/example you can use to get started today--courtesy of the Realm team.
You can read more about the feature here: Build an Offline-First React Native Mobile App with Expo and Realm.
We won't be adding Realm to the Expo Go app (that you download from the App Store or Google Play Store) since we are limiting the amount of native third-party services that we include by default.

Evan Bacon: Awesome

Evan Bacon: Very good! Really appreciate the work that's been put in. Completely understand the avoidance of direct integration to Expo Go.

Evan Bacon: about the "limiting the amount of native third-party services", is there a list or schedule which indicate what packages are going to be removed. this can help teams decide whether it's needed to migrate to custom-dev-clients?

Anyone have a robust workflow with Realm and Expo yet? I saw this post and thought it was interesting: https://www.mongodb.com/developer/how-to/build-offline-first-react-native-mobile-app-with-expo-and-realm/

Any news?

Whats the status on this Evan Bacon.....I am planning to use expo for my engineering team on a large scale project however we need to use realm. Any chance if realm.io is already compatible with EXPO?
Evan Bacon
Gaurav Harchwani: Graeme Maciver has a comment about getting it working in dev clients with a few caveats. Realm will only be available in custom dev clients / managed EAS for the foreseeable future, but we've invested a lot of time into making that workflow really solid so it should be pretty nice. You can try it locally with
expo run:ios
or expo run:android
and just ignore the native folders.Many groups like Segment are starting to build versions of their packages on top of Expo primitives (like using expo-sqlite instead of a package that reimplements the native code in expo-sqlite), which makes them available in Expo Go, if Segment is interested in doing this we'd be happy to help.

Evan Bacon: Did you mean "If
Realm
is interested in doing this..."?sebas tian
when can we expect a release of this

in progress

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

We already employ MongoDB in a number of applications. If, ultimately, the EAS build system will allow provisioning of Realm, that will be really excellent.
Shane Eckel
Love to get some feedback on this being added to the platform.
Gerardo Tordoya
Please, seriously, add support for Realm. Please.
