Expo introduces a macOS menu bar app called 'Expo Orbit' to streamline developer operations.
Orbit enables one-click installation and launching of builds via EAS and link-based launching of Snack projects on simulators.
The tool allows listing and launching of Android emulators and iOS simulators, and installing apps from local files.
For device management, 'Expo Orbit' relies on xcrun and the Android SDK needing Android Studio and Xcode setups.
Expo seeks user feedback to enhance 'Orbit' and was partly inspired by Shopify's internal tool 'Tophat'.

Expo offers an ecosystem of tools for developers to create, review, and deploy universal native apps using React for Android, iOS, and web platforms. It simplifies development by allowing you to write code once and run it everywhere. With Expo, developers can utilize native APIs, create builds for app stores, submit apps, and push updates directly to users. The platform supports app store submission, automated testing, and easy team collaboration with adjustable roles. Expo is open-source, offers a free plan, and caters to a community of developers eagerly building mobile apps with JavaScript and React Native.
