Launching EAS Updates with Orbit
Blog post from Expo
Expo Orbit, a macOS menu bar app aimed at streamlining development workflows, launched its beta version in August 2023 and officially released version 1 in November 2023 following positive feedback and bug reports. Initially inspired by Shopify's internal tool, Tophat, Orbit allows developers to launch builds and run Snack projects on devices and simulators with enhanced features like simulator visibility controls, drag-and-drop app installation, and improved error feedback. A significant update includes the “Open in Orbit” button, enabling EAS Updates to be launched directly into compatible builds on Android Emulators and iOS Simulators, requiring Orbit 1.1.0 or greater. Future development goals include expanding support to Windows and Linux, responding to the needs of developers who want to use React Native without a Mac. A livestream event is planned for March 12th to offer further insights into using Orbit.
