Expo SDK 50: API Routes, Fingerprint, Dev Tools, SQLite and more

Watch Expo Engineers talk about all the SDK 50 highlights including API Routes, Fingerprint, Dev Tools, SQLite, Camera and more.
A lot of good work was packed into this release so we may not get to it all, but we'll definitely cover the following (and we'll plan to spend most of the time answering your questions):
• Expo Dev Tools Plugin API
• Expo Router v3
• @expo/fingerprint and integration into expo-github-action (this is a juicy one)
• expo-sqlite/next (complete rewrite of our SQLite library)
• expo-camera/next
There is a lot more that we expect to come up in the questions. So please come hang out and don't hesitate to fire your questions into the chat.

[@ExpoDevelopers]

What's most intriguing to you?

[@xicoliru]

@@ExpoDevelopers I really liked the camera changes, but the API routes stole the show today 🎉

​@@ExpoDevelopersyou people are dumb or just want make thing complicated... I am new to react native and want to use SQLite db file in my project.... My db has data, which I want to use... No simple way or any good quality tutorial on SQLite.... Do you not know SQLite is base of any mobile app

[@petsco3623]

You're awesome guys keep up!!

[@ExpoDevelopers]

Thank you!

A common software design practice in Node applications is to separate controllers, database calls, utility functions, and the like. How would I accomplish this in expo router 3? And how would this be separate from my client code during deployment? Thanks for the content!

[@АлексейПудников-е7ц]

Hey dudes! Content is great but where the video timecodes is?

[@bkamrani]

Amazing, kudos to all the great Expo team: Keith, Evan, Bront, Cedric et. al.

[@ExpoDevelopers]

Thanks for watching!

I found my first contribution to Expo: Oct 10 2017 Probably one liner update to `exponent-docs` 🤣

[@ExpoDevelopers]

Could be a good tattoo.

now that barcode scanner has moved to camera is it possible to use on web?

[@ExpoDevelopers]

Yes, you can still do that

[@SteveLiles]

@@ExpoDevelopers thanks for the reply! ... my question was too easy to misinterpret - i meant does the barcode scanner work on the web now? (web was not previously supported by BarCodeScanner module).

[@ExpoDevelopers]

@@SteveLiles ahhh yes, it’s always been available in camera but it wasn’t in barcode scanner. It’s a bit more limited than what we can do on mobile but it is there for web.

[@prohacker5086]

I want to use Expo as alternative to the Nextjs

[@Norfeldt]

Really fantastic rundown of the latest greatest changes to expo

[@juanignaciogiusiano23]

Hello!!. Is there any prop that helps improve the focus of the CameraView component?

[@ExpoDevelopers]

Not at the moment. It should auto focus. But it sounds like that isn't working. In which case we might need to go back and add in some of the capabilities from the old library.
