Building Real-Time Live Activities in Expo
Learn how to add real-time LiveActivity updates to your Expo app using Swift native modules. In this stream, we implemented Apple’s Live Activities with Evan Bacon’s library, explored ActivityKit, and discussed cross-platform development with Solito 5 and Expo UI.
Building Real-Time Live Activities in Expo

In this stream, we dived into Live Activities: iPhone’s interactive Lock Screen and Dynamic Island widgets that deliver real-time updates straight from your app.
We walked through the fundamentals of ActivityKit, built a working example in a fresh Expo project, and explored how native Swift modules connect seamlessly with React Native.
We also touched on:
- The newly announced Solito 5 and what it means for cross-platform devs
- A look at Expo UI and the future of unified native components
- A quick highlight from Jan’s journey with Meta Quest
If you’re curious how to blend React Native flexibility with native iOS power, this stream’s for you.
