🛠 Breaking changes

• [Android] Removed the deprecated AppContext.hostingRuntimeContext property. Use AppContext.runtime instead. (#46964 by @​wenszel)
• [Android] Removed the deprecated AppContext.errorManager property. Use AppContext.jsLogger instead. (#46964 by @​wenszel)
• [Android] Replaced the old ArrayBuffer interface with a concrete class, so NativeArrayBuffer and JavaScriptArrayBuffer no longer share a common ArrayBuffer supertype. (#47106 by @​barthap)
• [Android] Introduce ConverterContext. (#47850 by @​jakex7)
• [iOS] Removed EXUtilities.screenScale, which cached the main screen's scale for the process lifetime. Read the scale from the view's trait collection instead. (#48528 by @​alanjhughes)

🎉 New features

• [Android] Added a loadImageForManipulationFromURL overload to ImageLoaderInterface that decodes the image within the given maxWidth/maxHeight bounds. (#47877 by @​jiunshinn)
• Add useReleasingSharedObjectWithLifecycle hook. (#46494 by @​behenate)
• Added ArrayBuffer as the preferred safe native module argument and return type, and deprecated NativeArrayBuffer in favor of it. (#47106 by @​barthap)
• [iOS] Added module lifecycle hooks that replace the OnCreate, OnDestroy, OnStartObserving and OnStopObserving DSL components: didCreate, willDestroy, didStartListening and didStopListening. (#47542 by @​tsapeta)
• [Android] Support PlatformColor as Color. (#47632 by @​jakex7)
• [Android] Added ArrayBuffer.withJSBytes for safe scoped access to underlying bytes from any thread. (#47261 by @​barthap)

🐛 Bug fixes

• [Android] Fixed hosted Compose views missing layout after reattachment or in-place configuration changes. (#48370 by @​lujjjh)
• [iOS] Fixed infinite recursion and EXC_BAD_ACCESS when encoding native Date values to JavaScript. (#48239, #48240 by @​samuelcorsan)
• [iOS] Concurrent functions build on the new two-phase createAsyncFunction from expo-modules-jsi again, instead of wiring the promise themselves. This also restores rejecting the returned promise (rather than throwing synchronously) when the app context is lost or argument decoding fails. (#47755 by @​tsapeta)
• [Android] Support android.graphics.Color arguments and props on Android below API 26 by adding a ColorCompat wrapper, since the class-based Color API (Color.valueOf and the float accessors) only exists on API 26 and above. PlatformColor values now resolve below API 26 too, via React Native's ARGB-int color path. (#47546 by @​anasvemmully) (#47575 by @​intergalacticspacehighway)
• [Android] Fix Record arguments crashing with a NullPointerException in R8-optimized release builds when converted through the reflection fallback path. (#46852 by @​lukmccall)
• [Android] Keep the Record marker interface so its consumer ProGuard rule keeps matching after R8 optimization removes empty marker interfaces. (#46852 by @​lukmccall)
• [Android] Fix nested Host double-composing children. (#46282 by @​sadbytes) (#46304 by @​nishan)
• [Internal] Remove EventEmitter re-export global type indirection (#46719 by @​kitten)
• [iOS] Fix Expo DevTools Network response bodies for JSON content types with parameters. (#46336 by @​SJvaca30)
• [iOS] Resolve the key window from the foregrounded scene in currentViewController() so it keeps working with multiple scenes, and expose Utilities.keyWindow() for modules to reuse. (#46956 by @​alanjhughes)
• [iOS] Fixed a stack overflow crash when converting to JavaScript a Convertible value that keeps the default convertResult implementation, such as CMTime. The value now converts to undefined and logs a warning. (#48266 by @​tsapeta)

💡 Others

• [iOS] Bumped @expo/expo-modules-macros-plugin to 0.8.0, which emits the two-phase async @JS bindings. (#47755 by @​tsapeta)
• [Android] Make expo-module-gradle-plugin compatible with Android Gradle Plugin 9. (#46769 by @​lukmccall)
• [Android] Ignore already-settled promises. (#46770 by @​jakex7)
• iOS Turn getModule(implementing:) into a public function (#47337 by @​Ubax)
• [iOS] Added SceneGeometry for reading bounds, safe area, display scale and interface orientation from the scene a view belongs to. (#48168 by @​alanjhughes)
• [iOS] Added SceneGeometry.foregroundScene(), which returns nil when no scene is on screen so callers can avoid presenting UI into a background scene. (#48318 by @​alanjhughes)
• Removed Quick and Nimble in favor of Swift Testing. (#48530 by @​tsapeta)
