It uses Apple's ARKit so it will only work on iPhones. And you need iOS 11 and at least an iPhone 6S or a very recent iPad for it to work.

Google has announced some Android AR stuff so when they roll they out, we will look at making this stuff work across both platforms. Sorry it won't work for you yet!



I always wait for the first minor version bump before installing a new iOS release. Not this time! I can't wait that long to play with what you've built.

(I'd like to read more about it, too, but your Medium link upthread is 404ing...)


oops -- i fixed the medium link. thanks for the heads up.

here it is: https://blog.expo.io/introducing-expo-ar-mobile-augmented-re...


11.0.1 came out earlier this week.


Minor, not patch.


Does it work on an SE (basically got 6s innards)?


Yep :) 5s and 6 recieved iOS11, but they don’t have the hardware for ARKit

SE, 6s onwards has the hardware for ARKit
