Bolt.new now integrates with Expo for easy no-code AI-powered iOS and Android development

The AI-driven app development platform Bolt.new from StackBlitz has just announced its integration with Expo, an open-source platform for making universal native apps with React, enabling users to create apps through AI by simply describing them in everyday language. This eliminates the need for coding skills and enables real-time app generation directly from a browser, making it accessible to both developers and non-technical users.

A live demonstration highlighted the creation of a professional portfolio app for web, iOS, and Android without any coding, which is particularly useful for startups and freelancers looking to develop MVPs and brainstorm app ideas. Bolt's AI provides real-time feedback, allowing users to dynamically refine their applications and continuously enhance the generated code.

The tool also offers a "prompt enhancer" to help users specify design aspects, layout, data sources, and reference materials for greater customization. This rapid generation of MVPs significantly accelerates the app development process. Future updates plan to integrate Expo Application Services (EAS) to streamline the build, submission, and deployment processes.
