Expo SDK 55 brings powerful iOS 26 native APIs to Expo Router—native tabs with liquid glass, stack toolbars, bottom accessories, zoom transitions, and better form sheets. I'll show you how to use them in a real production app (Inkigo).

Code with Beto

Expo SDK 55 introduces new native APIs in Expo Router that make it easier to build truly native iOS 26 experiences. Covered features include native tabs with system-level behaviors like liquid glass and minimize-on-scroll, a stack toolbar component for placing buttons and menus at the top, sides, or bottom of the screen, a bottom accessory API similar to Apple Music's mini player, zoom transitions for smooth interactive navigation between screens, and a fix for flex layout inside native bottom sheets. Code examples are shown for each feature using a real production app called Inkigo as a reference.
