Today, React Native 0.77 was released, and Expo SDK 52 now supports both React Native 0.76 and 0.77. Typically, an Expo SDK version is tied to a specific React Native version. For example, Expo SDK 50 was 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 0.77. As a result, this should be an even quicker upgrade than usual – if you choose to upgrade.

Get ready to see more data about your projects: we just added resource usage data at the project level on the Expo dashboard.

We recently updated our privacy policy to reflect changes in data protection laws and our adherence to them.

Since the replacement of Privacy Shield in 2020, Expo has complied with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union, United Kingdom, and Switzerland to the United States.

At the time, we self-certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that we adhere to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles, and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles; however, the privacy policy hosted on our website has only now been updated accordingly. We regret the oversight, and our privacy policy now reflects our compliance with these Data Privacy frameworks.

Channel pausing for EAS Update is now available. With channel pausing, you can disable sending updates to specific deployments, which allows you to better control update distribution and prevent runaway EAS Update usage.

Today we're announcing the release of Expo SDK 52. SDK 52 includes React Native 0.76. Thank you to everyone who helped with beta testing.
