Expo 57.0.14

Expo 57.0.14 shipped August 17, 2026. This version does not introduce any user-facing changes. It's a maintenance patch that keeps the SDK 57 line stable and in lockstep with the underlying native toolchain.

What Changed

Per the official changelog, 57.0.14 is a quiet release. No new APIs. No breaking changes. No new features for end users. The patch lands on the heels of 57.0.13, which carried the real weight:

• iOS bundle configuration is now derived from the normalized bundle URL instead of a shared settings singleton.
• Bare projects without expo-dev-client resolve the dev server port from the RCTMetroPort Info.plist key at runtime — no more hardcoded fallback to 8081.
• macOS builds guard the bundleConfiguration override for react-native 0.80 to 0.83 compatibility.
• The TextDecoder implementation was rewritten for faster decoding performance.

Why It Matters

Patch-only releases like this one matter for one reason: infrastructure reliability. When the changelog says "no user-facing changes," it usually means internal refactors, dependency alignment, and CI polish that keep future feature releases safe to ship. Teams already on SDK 57 can update to 57.0.14 with zero migration effort.

How to Update
