View source →expo-uiFramework (OSS). Build native UI with the @expo/ui package: real SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android rendered from React in an Expo or React Native app. Covers universal cross-platform components (Host, Column, Row, Button, Text, List, and more imported from @expo/ui), drop-in replacements for popular React Native community libraries (BottomSheet, DateTimePicker, Slider, Menu, etc.), and platform-specific SwiftUI (@expo/ui/swift-ui, iOS only) and Jetpack Compose (@expo/ui/jetpack-compose, Android only) trees and modifiers. Use when adding or reviewing @expo/ui Host/RNHostView trees, building native-feeling UI where standard React Native components fall short (grouped settings forms with toggles, sections, menus, sheets, pickers, sliders), choosing between universal and platform-specific components, or replacing an RN community UI library with a native @expo/ui equivalent.
