Building 60 FPS Cross-Platform Apps with React Native & Expo SDK 57
How we build cross-platform mobile apps that rival pure Swift and Kotlin in speed, using Expo SDK 57, Reanimated gesture physics, and NativeWind styling.

01The New Architecture: Bridgeless TurboModules

With React Native's New Architecture enabled by default in Expo SDK 57, JavaScript communicates directly with native C++ host objects without serialization lag over the old async bridge. This guarantees true 60fps animations and instant gesture tracking.

Architectural Takeaways:
  • Shared TypeScript codebase cuts mobile engineering costs by 50%.
  • Seamless hardware integration: Camera, Biometrics (Face ID), Push Notifications.
  • Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for rapid bug hotfixes.
