macOS Compatibility

Status

Expo SDK 54 does NOT support native macOS apps.

Supported platforms:

  • ✅ iOS (iPhone/iPad)
  • ✅ Android
  • ✅ Web (browsers)

macOS Options

Web Version (Recommended)

corepack yarn start --web

Works: Text processing, TTS (Web Speech API), history, accessibility controls, Q&A

Limited: Camera/OCR (needs web-based solution like Tesseract.js)

iOS on Apple Silicon

npx expo run:ios

Works on M1/M2/M3 Macs, but designed for iPhone/iPad, not macOS desktop.

What Won't Work

  • Native macOS desktop app (requires react-native-macos fork)
  • ML Kit OCR (Android-only)
  • Native macOS file picker

Recommendation

Use web version for macOS - provides 95% of functionality.
