This Skill helps developers build native UI components for Expo and React Native apps, providing both universal cross-platform components and platform-specific options for iOS and Android.

Core Features & Use Cases

Universal Components: Offers a set of universal components that work on iOS, Android, and web, ensuring a consistent UI across platforms.
Platform-specific Components: Provides platform-specific SwiftUI for iOS and Jetpack Compose for Android, allowing for more native-like UIs.
Drop-in Replacements: Includes API-compatible replacements for popular React Native community libraries, making it easier to migrate away from them.
Use Case: If you're building an app that requires a custom UI component and you want to ensure it looks and feels native on both iOS and Android, this Skill can help you achieve that.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build native UI components for iOS and Android in React Native?▼

To build native UI components for React Native, use @expo/ui to access universal cross-platform components alongside platform-specific SwiftUI for iOS and Jetpack Compose for Android. It provides API-compatible replacements for popular community libraries to ensure native look and feel.

What is the best way to get consistent UI across iOS, Android, and web in Expo?▼

The best way to get consistent UI across iOS, Android, and web in Expo is by using the universal components provided by @expo/ui. These components ensure a consistent interface across all platforms while supporting platform-specific options when needed.

Do I need Expo SDK 56 to use @expo/ui?▼

Yes, you need Expo SDK 56 or later to use @expo/ui. The package requires this minimum SDK version to provide its universal and platform-specific UI components for your React Native application.

Can I migrate away from existing React Native community UI libraries easily?▼

You can migrate away from existing React Native community UI libraries easily because @expo/ui includes API-compatible drop-in replacements. This allows you to switch to universal and platform-specific components without completely rewriting your component logic.

When should I use platform-specific UI components instead of universal ones?▼

Use platform-specific UI components instead of universal ones when your app requires a more native-like interface. @expo/ui provides SwiftUI for iOS and Jetpack Compose for Android to handle cases where universal components do not meet your native design requirements.
