I’ve taken some time over the holiday break get my last 2025 update of anilime out to the store. There was quite a bit of scope creep in this one:

• Expo Upgrade with a bunch of iOS 26 updates
• Moving the navigation stack to @react-navigation’s “native” implementations of stack and bottom tabs
• A whole host of screen refactoring, mostly due to the new iOS 26 primitives, including support for the iPad’s new window management

Overall, a worth while update. I don’t collect any analytics in the app and I’ve never bothered to dive too deeply into the store analytics that Apple provides. I have no idea how many people still use the app – it’s mainly an app for me that I happen to share. That being said, I do want to invest in it a bit more in 2026. I’m not exactly sure what that will look like, but I have a few ideas.
