Hermes Support for Android build

Expo SDK
1

Hello,

today I found out about Hermes, Using Hermes · React Native
a new JS optimized engine for React Native / Android.

Is there a plan to support it in the next sdk? (it requires RN 0.60.2 and it is enabled in Gradle at build time)

Thanks!

There are parts of expo (specifically expo-gl) that are using internals of JSC it needs to be rewritten to support Hermes. I’m guessing that it might be in sdk35 or 36 depending on how much work it will require.

There is issue about it here Hermes evaluation · Issue #4927 · expo/expo · GitHub
