Expo Router API routes give React Native teams a practical middle ground between "everything is client-side" and "we need a separate backend project before we can ship." With EAS Hosting, those routes can be deployed alongside an Expo Router web app and used for server-side work such as secrets, validation, webhooks, AI calls, and small backend endpoints.

The September 2026 mobile-development baseline is clearer than it was earlier this year. React Native 0.87 advances native build requirements and makes the Strict TypeScript API the default. Expo SDK 57 provides a separate, slightly earlier React Native baseline. Google Play's target API deadline now affects new app submissions and updates.

This briefing separates those facts so production teams can plan upgrades without treating every ecosystem release as one migration.

Continuous integration for React Native should do more than run npm test. A useful pipeline protects every pull request, builds signed release artifacts from clean commits, keeps secrets out of the repository, and makes app store submission repeatable.
