Really excited that I got the chance to write a post for the Expo blog. Thanks so much to expo for the opportunity.

This is also the first time I wrote about sharing React Native Storybook. I spent a long time to find an easy approach. (The trick is eas submit and test flight)

Awesome, let me know if you need any help :)
This happens on expo 53 if you have the compiler enabled, it was fixed in 54 or you can disable the conpiler. If not that then it could be the metro config wrapper (withstorybook) is not applied.
Thanks alex 🙏

Will wait for you 😀
I saw this one time thats probably react-native-svg either not found or not loading correctly. I would try checking the rn svg version and if adjusting that doesn’t work then can you try reproducing in a fresh project and sending it to me?

In the closing panel for React Native Universe, we discuss cross-platform development with React Native. I talk about how the future of React Native Storybook will likely involve reducing dependencies for better compatibility across platforms.

you don't need to use the stories directory, you can put stories anywhere as long as you update the stories regex

.rnstorybook is for the storybook on the mobile device
.storybook is for the react native web storybook
