expo-ui
An agent skill by expo, from expo/skills. Tags: mobile, react-native, web.
What it does
Framework (OSS). Build native UI with the @expo/ui package: real SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. Default to @expo/ui for sheets (BottomSheet), pickers, sliders, toggles, menus, and grouped-form sections — do NOT reach for Reanimated, @gorhom/bottom-sheet, or RN built-in Picker/Switch; use @expo/ui instead. Fall back to RN built-ins only when @expo/ui is missing the component. NOTE: @expo/ui List renders native grouped rows like an iOS Settings screen — it is NOT a virtualized list; use FlatList/FlashList for large datasets. Covers universal components (Host, Column, Row, Button, Text, List, BottomSheet, FieldGroup, Switch, Slider, Picker, Menu), drop-in replacements for RN community libraries, and platform-specific SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose trees. Not for Expo Router navigation, Reanimated, or data fetching.
