Expo + Bundle Drop
Expo OTA Updates with Bundle Drop
Bring Bundle Drop's hybrid delivery, targeted rollouts, and automatic recovery to Expo—without leaving the Expo development workflow.
Expo SDK 54–57Managed and CNGEAS BuildiOS and AndroidOld and New Architecture
Unlimited MAU on every plan. No per-user fees.
Native when it matters
Stay inside the Expo workflow you already use
Bundle Drop follows Expo's configuration and build model. Keep native folders absent in managed/CNG projects, or let a reviewed layered prebuild update projects that commit them.
Keep Expo development intact
Expo Go, Metro, and development clients behave normally while Bundle Drop stays out of the debug path.
Generate native integration safely
The Expo config plugin applies through prebuild, expo run, or EAS without asking you to hand-edit generated entrypoints.
Publish from one CLI
Upload compatible JavaScript and assets to a channel with option-free Expo platform commands.

One workflow, two modes

Use the development loop you already know.
Metro stays in control
Bundle Drop OTA remains disabled while debugging.
Release
Expo app config
Keep native configuration in the Expo project.
Bundle Drop plugin
Prebuild, expo run, and EAS apply the integration.
Release binary
The installed app owns a compatible runtime line.
OTA channel
Ship compatible JavaScript and bundled assets.
Release control for Expo
Faster delivery without giving up safety
Bundle Drop brings the complete OTA release workflow to Expo, from efficient delivery to audience control and recovery.
Targeted rollouts
Release by channel, percentage, or user properties so the right Expo installs receive the right update at the right time.

Automatic recovery
Native startup protection returns an unhealthy update to the previous proven-healthy OTA or the embedded bundle.

Still choosing between Expo-native, managed, and self-hosted OTA? Compare React Native OTA tools for Expo and bare apps.
Three commands to a verified setup
Install through Expo. Let Bundle Drop do the rest.
Login detects the project, registers the config plugin, preserves Expo Metro behavior, and previews every setup change before it is applied. Doctor verifies the result.

Compatibility on your terms
One runtime model, two levels of control
Use simple literal runtime versions by default, or opt into exact Expo build fingerprint enforcement when your release process requires it.
Recommended default
Own the runtime version
Use the same literal runtime model across Expo and bare React Native. Your team decides when a native compatibility line changes.
- Keep the runtime for compatible JavaScript and asset updates
- Bump the affected platform and rebuild after native changes
- Upload without Expo build receipts
Optional strict mode
Bind updates to an Expo build
Let the evaluated Expo runtime policy and native fingerprint become the upload authority when exact build proof is part of your release process.
- Match the exact local or EAS build receipt
- Reject uploads from changed native inputs
- Use clean-worktree enforcement for layered native builds
