Integrating iOS 26 Liquid Glass app with Expo UI and SwiftUI
Blog post from Expo
Expo UI integrates modern native UI frameworks, namely SwiftUI for iOS and Jetpack Compose for Android, into React Native, allowing developers to utilize platform-specific primitives without re-implementing components. This integration enables the use of advanced features like iOS's Gauge and the Liquid Glass effect, making it easier to create complex and visually appealing UIs. With its incremental approach, Expo UI supports a seamless transition by allowing SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose to coexist with existing React Native components, without the need for a complete app rewrite. The recent updates in SDK 54 enhance its capabilities by introducing a <Host> container for SwiftUI, supporting modifiers for flexible styling, and enabling full-app development with Expo UI primitives. While SwiftUI is currently the primary focus, support for Jetpack Compose is in development, with community contributions playing a vital role in its growth. Expo UI's flexible nature accommodates diverse design philosophies, allowing developers to choose the best tools for creating universal yet deeply native experiences across platforms.
