Expo introduces a React hook, useUpdates(), enabling apps to handle remote updates more effectively.
The hook monitors app bundle status, reflects the latest system state, and tracks update checks.
It simplifies calling async update methods by automatically refreshing once they complete.
An alpha version is available for testing, with the final version expected in SDK 50.
An 'Updates API Demo' app is released to demonstrate the new API's functionality.

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.
