In this stream, we built Live Activities, those real-time, interactive widgets you see on the iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

We used Evan Bacon’s library to bring native Swift code into an Expo app and explored how ActivityKit works behind the scenes.

We also chatted about:
- The new Solito 5 release
- Expo UI and the idea of shared native components
- Jan's first steps into the Meta Quest world: https://x.com/jaworek3211/status/1980987518431719714

Perfect if you’re into React Native, iOS dev, or just love mixing native tech with cross-platform tools.
