Description

Description

I am building an app with Expo Go and I am wondering if rive-react-native currently works in an Expo Go app. I've thoroughly read the documentation and I am still unsure. I see that installation steps include updating pods manually, which would not work in Expo Go. Additionally I see a line "The Rive React Native runtime does not have support for Expo at this time" indicating similarly that rive-react-native would not work in an Expo Go app.

If this is not yet supported, are there plans to have Rive supported in Expo Go apps? Is there a timeline for this?
TYIA

Provide a Repro

Not Available. Just that I am unable to pod install for an Expo Go app.

Expected behavior

Would love for rive-react-native to work in Expo Go!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the documented installation steps and the statement that the React Native runtime does not support Expo. Confirm whether the native pod requirements are compatible with Expo Go, then document the current support status, any supported setup, and whether a timeline is available.
