Renewed interest in this with the iOS 14 launch of home screen widgets

@Raphael Rouvinov-Kats: 🙏

Any feedback of whether or not the integration of home screen widgets is planned?
Ariel Falduto
Same here @AJ, several users of my app are asking me for ios widget, It would be very useful to have some bridge to design this kind of things.
Gary Pendergast
Android home screen widgets are a super useful way to expose relevant bits of information from an app: the tutorials for adding them to a React Native app are super hacky, and don't seem to work with Expo.
Being able to write home screen widgets without needing to leave the safety and comfort of JavaScript would be a wonderful thing. 🙂
Zachary Kohnen
This would be great to see, especially if the expo team is able to more tightly couple it so that It can use less ram
AJ
Yes, this is much neeeded. I've gotten several emails from users asking for an Android widget.
Eric Yip
really need this one!
Dmitry Semenchuk
This could be a cool feature. There are some available modules for now but they need to be linked. For example: https://github.com/matejkriz/react-native-today-widget. Would like to see this in some next expo releases :)
Peter Piekarczyk
I'm also interested in this! I'd like to suggest a better name like "Today Widget Support (notification center)" to better reflect this cause it took me some searching to find it.
Thanks!

sure, it's possible for a standalone app. not on the top of our list right now but if it gets a bunch more votes we'll pay more attention :)

@Brent Vatne: could be utilized to quickly open projects directly form the widgets menu too (default behavior, can be overwritten for standalone build)

@Brent Vatne, @Peter Piekarczyk, @Dmitry Semenchuk, @Zach Reed: I happened upon the following project while browsing on github, it might be interesting to take a look: https://github.com/gaetanozappi/react-native-widget-listview

@Brent Vatne: Plsss, we really need this. It would suck if I had to eject and leave the sweetness of EXPO just for this.
Brent Vatne
@AJ: we don't have any near-term plans to support this, sadly. but as we build out the next version of our build service and make bare workflow closer to our managed workflow, hopefully ejecting to add custom native code won't seem like such a hassle!
Leonardo Dominguez
@Brent Vatne: Is there a Date when we can expect the new version?
Brent Vatne
@Leonardo Dominguez: i don't understand your question as it relates to this feature request. are you asking when sdk 36 will be released? if so, the answer is soon
