iOS 27 & UIScene support

customerio-expo-plugin 3.9.0 is ready for the scene lifecycle in Expo SDK 58. Stable Expo SDK 57 apps keep the AppDelegate path.

customerio-expo-plugin 3.9.0 is ready for the scene lifecycle that Expo SDK 58 generates. Expo SDK 58 is currently pre-release. Stable Expo SDK 57 apps keep the AppDelegate path and don’t need a scene-related Customer.io change.

After Expo SDK 58 is available as a stable release, use customerio-expo-plugin 3.9.0 and its required customerio-reactnative 6.9.0 peer. The plugin configures the native Customer.io bridge.

What changes on the scene path:

• Deep link readiness: Register your router before routing becomes ready. With native auto-initialization, call CustomerIO.setDeepLinkRoutingReady() after the router is ready. With JavaScript initialization, register the router before CustomerIO.initialize(...); initialization marks routing ready automatically. Cold-start notification destinations arrive as Linking url events, not through Linking.getInitialURL(). Expo Router apps shouldn’t add a second navigating listener.
• Killed-state deep links: handleDeeplinkInKilledState is the legacy AppDelegate workaround for Expo SDK 53–57. The plugin doesn’t inject it on the scene path because scene routing replaces it.
• Live Activities: AppDelegate tap handling moves to JavaScript. Process URLs once with CustomerIO.liveActivities.handleWidgetUrl(path). Use app/+native-intent.tsx for Expo Router, or your central Linking pipeline otherwise.

Below Expo SDK 58, the plugin keeps the AppDelegate path and no change is required.
