@dannyhw By when we will have this support for expo. Can you please help in this
There's a pr open but a lot is currently in progress and I'm juggling a few things. Let's say there may be an experimental support this month for early testing
@asthaanand2807, I've been working on this in #1425. We now have Expo running with Re.Pack on both iOS and Android, including Expo Router, release builds, and Module Federation v2. It uses prebuild, so Expo Go isn't supported. The PR is still under review, but the main flow is already working.
Description
I'm building a multi-tenant React Native platform using Expo, where different customers can have different feature sets.
The ideal architecture would allow downloading or loading feature modules at runtime (similar to Module Federation / Micro Frontends) without rebuilding the entire application.
After reading the documentation, I noticed that Re.Pack currently doesn't officially support Expo.
Official support (or an experimental guide) for integrating Re.Pack with modern Expo projects using:
Even if Expo Go cannot be supported due to Metro, it would be extremely valuable if Re.Pack could work with custom development builds and production Expo applications.
Use case
Module Federation seems like an ideal solution for this use case.
Questions
Additional context
The current documentation states:
However, since Expo now supports custom development builds and prebuild workflows, it seems that supporting Expo (outside Expo Go) could unlock many enterprise use cases.
I'd appreciate any guidance on whether this is feasible.
