The SDK 52 beta period begins today and will last approximately two weeks. The beta is an opportunity for developers to test out the SDK and ensure that the new release does not introduce any regressions for their particular systems and app configurations. We will be continuously releasing fixes and improvements during the beta period, some of these may include breaking changes.
SDK 52 beta includes React Native 0.76.0. The full release notes for SDK 52 won't be available until the stable release, but you can browse the changelogs in the expo/expo repo to learn more about the scope of the release and any breaking changes. We'll merge all changelogs into the root CHANGELOG.md when the beta is complete.
We're also hosting office hours on Discord for those of you interested in helping test the release!

A new feature – the security activity record – is now available to all EAS users. It aims to give users insight into modification actions on their EAS user profile and helps them investigate any suspicious activity should it be necessary.

Users who enabled this during the beta period saw their Android builds complete 40% faster on average. Since this change is fully on EAS's infrastructure, no migrations in your project are necessary. You'll now enjoy faster Android builds at no extra cost, giving you more time to develop your app.

As of recently, enterprise plan users can access audit logs through the Expo website. Audit logs are a chronological record of important actions taken by members of your organization. This includes things like permission grants, credential modifications, and actions taken on apps.

Today, React Native 0.75 was released, and Expo SDK 51 now supports both React Native 0.74 and 0.75. Typically, an Expo SDK version is tied to a specific React Native version. For example, Expo SDK 50 is only tested against and expected to be compatible with React Native 0.73, and tools such as Expo CLI and Doctor will validate that you are using the expected version. We've decided that this isn't necessary for React Native 0.75. As a result, this should be an even quicker upgrade than usual, should you choose to upgrade.
