Expo UI SwiftUI
`@expo/ui/swift-ui` package lets you use SwiftUI Views and modifiers in your app.
Best use case
Expo UI SwiftUI is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
`@expo/ui/swift-ui` package lets you use SwiftUI Views and modifiers in your app.
Teams using Expo UI SwiftUI should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

## Installation
```bash
npx expo install @expo/ui
```
A native rebuild is required after installation (`npx expo run:ios`).
## Instructions
- Expo UI's API mirrors SwiftUI's API. Use SwiftUI knowledge to decide which components or modifiers to use.
- Components are imported from `@expo/ui/swift-ui`, modifiers from `@expo/ui/swift-ui/modifiers`.
- When about to use a component, fetch its docs to confirm the API - https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v55.0.0/sdk/ui/swift-ui/{component-name}/index.md
- When unsure about a modifier's API, refer to the docs - https://docs.expo.dev/versions/v55.0.0/sdk/ui/swift-ui/modifiers/index.md
- Every SwiftUI tree must be wrapped in `Host`.
- `RNHostView` is specifically for embedding RN components inside a SwiftUI tree. Example:
```jsx
import { Host, VStack, RNHostView } from "@expo-ui/swift-ui";
import { Pressable } from "react-native";
<Host matchContents>
<VStack>
<RNHostView matchContents>
// Here, `Pressable` is an RN component so it is wrapped in `RNHostView`.
<Pressable />
</RNHostView>
</VStack>
</Host>;
```
- If a required modifier or View is missing in Expo UI, it can be extended via a local Expo module. See: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/expo-ui-swift-ui/extending/index.md. Confirm with the user before extending.Related Skills

Guidelines for upgrading Expo SDK versions and fixing dependency issues
swiftui-view-refactor
Refactor and review SwiftUI view files for consistent structure, dependency injection, and Observation usage. Use when asked to clean up a SwiftUI view’s layout/ordering, handle view models safely (non-optional when possible), or standardize how dependencies and @Observable state are initialized and passed.
swiftui-performance-audit
Audit and improve SwiftUI runtime performance from code review and architecture. Use for requests to diagnose slow rendering, janky scrolling, high CPU/memory usage, excessive view updates, or layout thrash in SwiftUI apps, and to provide guidance for user-run Instruments profiling when code review alone is insufficient.
swiftui-liquid-glass
Implement, review, or improve SwiftUI features using the iOS 26+ Liquid Glass API. Use when asked to adopt Liquid Glass in new SwiftUI UI, refactor an existing feature to Liquid Glass, or review Liquid Glass usage for correctness, performance, and design alignment.
