The Expo React Conf App, the official mobile application for React Conf 2024, has seen little development activity recently. The app provides conference attendees with schedules, speaker details, and session information and is available on Google Play and the App Store.
Recent activity in the project has been sparse, with only four issues closed and no new ones opened. The most recent issue, #11, involved a crash related to the Reanimated library but was closed without resolution due to a lack of reproducible steps. This suggests potential gaps in user support or documentation. Other closed issues indicate recurring installation and configuration challenges, pointing to possible deficiencies in setup guidance.

The Expo React Conf App has experienced minimal recent activity, with only four closed issues and no open issues. Notably, the most recent issue, #11, involved a crash related to the Reanimated library, which was closed due to a lack of reproducible steps. This indicates potential gaps in user support or documentation, particularly regarding troubleshooting complex issues. The closed issues reveal a pattern of users encountering installation and configuration problems, suggesting that while the app is functional, there may be challenges in setup that could hinder user experience.
Issue #11: reanimated crash on this version of expo / react-conf-app
Issue #6: Failing to install Expo WebBrowser
package inside this app
expo-web-browser
package. The issue was resolved after confirming the correct installation steps.Issue #5: Cannot load project, problem
Issue #3: Ran instructions in readme, get error
The analysis of these issues highlights several implications for the Expo React Conf App project:
The analysis of the pull requests (PRs) for the Expo React Conf App reveals a total of eight closed PRs, showcasing various improvements, bug fixes, and feature additions. The contributions primarily focus on dependency management, CI integration, and enhancements to the app's functionality.
PR #12: Bump react-native-bootsplash
Closed 28 days ago by Kadi Kraman. This PR updated the react-native-bootsplash
library to its latest version, ensuring compatibility with Expo. It was tested on both iOS and Android without issues.
PR #10: Trigger PR preview when the preview label is added
Closed 38 days ago by Kadi Kraman. This enhancement modified the GitHub Actions workflow to trigger a preview deployment only when a specific label is added to a PR, optimizing the preview process.
PR #9: Add a react compiler demo
Closed 38 days ago by Kadi Kraman. This PR introduced a demo for the React Compiler within a modal, providing users with an example of its functionality.
PR #8: add CI
Closed 39 days ago but not merged. This PR aimed to integrate Continuous Integration (CI) workflows for testing and linting but was not accepted into the main branch.
PR #7: chore: bump libraries and enable the new architecture
Closed 54 days ago by Brent Vatne. This significant update bumped two libraries related to React Native and enabled the new architecture, resolving previous errors encountered during development.
PR #4: Fix compiler runtime workaround
Closed 94 days ago by Kadi Kraman. This PR addressed an issue related to the open-source version of the app that required a workaround for the compiler runtime.
PR #2: Fix typo in declarations.d.ts
Closed 94 days ago by Kadi Kraman. A minor fix addressing a typo in TypeScript declaration files.
PR #1: Update comment for compiler runtime hack
Closed 95 days ago by Kadi Kraman. This PR provided additional context regarding the implementation of the compiler function in user space.
The pull requests for the Expo React Conf App demonstrate a focused effort on maintaining and enhancing the application's functionality while ensuring compatibility with updated dependencies and tools. A notable trend is the emphasis on upgrading libraries and integrating new features that align with modern development practices, such as enabling CI workflows and adopting new architectural patterns in React Native.
One significant aspect is the attention given to dependency management, particularly evident in PRs like #12 and #7. By updating libraries such as react-native-bootsplash
and enabling new architecture features, contributors are ensuring that the app remains robust against potential bugs associated with outdated packages. This proactive approach is crucial in maintaining application stability and performance, especially in a rapidly evolving ecosystem like React Native.
The introduction of CI workflows in PR #8 reflects an understanding of best practices in software development, although it was ultimately not merged into the main branch. This indicates possible discussions or disagreements within the team regarding CI implementation strategies or priorities at that time. The fact that this PR was not accepted could suggest either a need for further refinement or alignment with existing processes before integration.
Additionally, PRs like #10 and #9 highlight efforts to enhance user experience through improved deployment processes and feature demonstrations. The decision to trigger previews based on labels can significantly streamline development workflows, reducing unnecessary overhead during code reviews while ensuring that only relevant changes are showcased.
The presence of minor fixes such as those in PRs #2 and #1 demonstrates an ongoing commitment to code quality and clarity, which is essential for long-term maintainability of any software project. These small yet impactful changes contribute to a cleaner codebase that is easier for future developers to navigate.
Overall, while there are some anomalies—such as the low number of commits relative to repository size—the closed pull requests indicate active engagement from contributors who are focused on both immediate fixes and long-term enhancements for the Expo React Conf App. The collaborative nature of these contributions suggests a healthy development environment where feedback is valued and integrated into ongoing work.
