Fig (Food is Good), a food safety app serving millions of users with dietary restrictions, shares how a five-engineer team leverages the Expo SDK and EAS Updates to ship reliably. Key highlights include migrating from react-native-svg to expo-image for better SVG rendering performance, using expo-location for dual-accuracy restaurant search, adopting expo-store-review after iOS 18 broke a community package, and switching from AppCenter/CodePush to Expo EAS Updates for over-the-air critical patches after App Center retired CodePush in March 2025.
