So the Android release was submitted with this fix, but the iOS build was already in the middle of a review which takes ~2 days atm so I couldn't cancel without having to start from the back of the queue again.
Thanks for confirming this worked for you! 🎉

It's actually this commit github.com/expo/react-c... . We changed the Pressable to use gesture events instead of onPress to fix a scrolling issue in iOS 24, so this works perfectly in iOS 24, but on Android and iOS 18, when you try to bookmark the talk it'll also navigate to the details page

If you're on iOS 18 - I've just published 1.1.1, could you try upgrading and seeing if it works now?

Are you on iOS 18 or 26?

Interesting! It does work for me and it shouldn't take a few taps. Which phone are you using? Do you feel the haptic feedback when you tap, or no?

"I'm new to React Native / Expo Router - how should I structure my codebase?"
It's a question that comes up quite a bit, and this is an attempt at providing some very concrete suggestions.
Already using Router? I'd love to know if there's anything you'd do differently, and why 📝

Project Hail Mary was great! I am also on team Audiobook, I listen while gymming, travelling, doing chores etc. The only downside is sometimes when you don't really like the narrator's voice or way of speaking, there's nothing to do about it.

This is a lovely, honest build log of a web developer building a native app with Expo for the first time!
Thank you so much for sharing. Your feedback throughout has been really useful in helping us make things smoother in the future 🕵️‍♀️

Ausalt peale teist visiiti ma peaaegu ei oleks läinud tagasi ja mõtlesin lihtsalt mingi muu displei osta. Ja ma arvan et sain selle uue ainult selle pärast et ma kannatlikult üle kuu aja sellega jamasin

Kadi Kraman @kadi.bsky.social · Jul 10

Nii et viisin uuesti tagasi, olin seal poolteist tundi kuni nad katsetasid erinevate arvutitega ja otsustasid et jah on küll displei viga. Ja siis 3 nädalat ei kuulnud midagi kuni läksin lõpuks kohale sinna küsima.
Öeldi et nad ei suutnud seda korda teha ja tellivad mulle kulleriga sama mudeli.

Viisin tagasi, see kord öeldi et see on minu kaabli viga ja pidin £69 eest uue kaabli ostma. Siis 4 päeva töötas kuni ei töötanud jälle. Avastasin et kui arvuti on 100% siis on ekraan okei, aga kui on alla 80% (ja üritab ennast läbi displei laadida) siis hakkab siise ja välja lülitama

Kadi Kraman @kadi.bsky.social · Jul 10

Ma arvan jah et vedas, pikem lugu on nii et monitor ei ühendunund enam arvutiga (ekraan lülitas ennast sisse / välja pidevalt).
Viisin Geeniuse Baari, nad tegid sisemise restore'i, ütlesid et korras, viisn koju - sama viga.

Holy crap, I guess the whole "if you don't ask, you don't get" is real! Apple couldn't fix my 3-year-old out-of-warranty Studio Display so in the end they replaced it. For free! It feels like Christmas.

Say hello to auth flows without redirects! 💜

Expo @expo.dev · Jun 17

🆕 Expo Router’s new protected routes offer a more declarative way to manage access in your navigation structure. With protected routes you can:

♢ Define auth flows clearly and predictably
♢ Avoid imperative redirects
♢ Easily control nested routes and modals

I'm not sure that's going to be possible. What we're doing here github.com/kadikraman/r... is we're changing the entry point based on whether we're viewing storybook or not so it's a completely different app. If using storybook - no router.
