What is the expected date for the Expo SDK 58 stable release?

[HakimMohamed]

The SDK 58 beta was published on September 15 with a planned 3–4 week beta window, which has now passed. The beta post says the stable release will follow once React Native 0.88 ships.

I want to release a stable version of my app for the iPhone Duo, and I’d rather ship on SDK 58 stable than on the beta. Is there an updated ETA for SDK 58 stable (or for RN 0.88 stable)?

Thanks!

Timely question: the blocker just cleared. React Native 0.88.0 was released a few minutes ago (facebook/react-native v0.88.0, Oct 15 22:37 UTC), after rc.5 on Oct 12. Since the SDK 58 beta post said stable would follow once RN 0.88 ships, that's the gate you were waiting on.

Also worth knowing: on npm, the expo package's latest (and next) tag already points to 58.0.11 (published today), so a fresh npm install expo today already gets 58.x. What I can't see from outside is the official "SDK 58 is stable" changelog post. Keep an eye on expo.dev/changelog over the next few days, since that's where they announce the final release and any last breaking-change notes.

If you're planning a release on it, I'd still upgrade with:

npx expo install expo@^58 --fix
npx expo-doctor

and do a quick test build against RN 0.88.0 final rather than the beta/rc versions.
