Feature Requests

The Production plan is too expensive for my personal projects but I would gladly pay for a cheaper Personal plan that gives a couple priority builds per day.

Writing config plugin can be quite complex and time consuming. It would be awesome if Expo provide a logic close to patch-package with node_modules. I mean: You update manually a "native" file (AppDelegate, build.gradle, ...) Run a "patch-package" like command it generates the config plugin based on differences

With the most recent iOS 26 update, the human interface guidelines include how to make them work well with the new Liquid Glass material. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/app-icons/ They have a new tool which exports a .icon file, which can be directly fed into xcode. https://developer.apple.com/icon-composer/ Would be nice if this was supported in expo. We still have to use the old way of Light/Dark/Tinted icons.

For custom dev client builds, we want to be able to point new team members to the same build everyone else is on. Right now we store them in s3, but it would be cool if we could mark a build via expo.dev to be stored longer than 30 days

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.

nfc integration would allow novel data transfer with many possible use cases in security, payments, social, games and interactive installations

Add support for it, similar to Facebook Ads API

This will allow expo app to display Now playing Info on lockscreen / control center widget and handle control events. This will extend the Audio background playback support.
