 ### 💡 Others

+
+_This version does not introduce any user-facing changes._
+
+## 57.0.1 — 2026-06-25
+
+### 🎉 New features
+
+- Add a Settings toggle to switch between auto-launching the most recent app and showing the launcher. ([#47131](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/47131) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+
+### 🐛 Bug fixes
+
+- [iOS] Present Local Network permission as a status row instead of a toggle, and make the Settings debug actions native, full-row-tappable list rows. ([#46758](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46758) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [iOS] Improve the Updates tab empty state with clearer guidance on how to publish an update. ([#46759](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46759) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [iOS] Present the development server info dialog as a native sheet. ([#46760](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46760) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [iOS] Reduce accidental logout in the account selector with a confirmation step and a less prominent button, and add more spacing around the header title. ([#46761](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46761) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [iOS] Make the development server list reliable, keep discovery running across tab switches, periodically re-verify discovered servers, add pull-to-refresh on the Home tab, and show a searching state instead of "No development servers found". ([#46811](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46811) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [iOS] Explain why a project failed to load instead of showing a generic "Failed to connect" message. ([#46866](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/46866) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
+- [Android] Fix auto-launching into the most recently opened project on startup. ([#47131](https://github.com/expo/expo/pull/47131) by [@alanjhughes](https://github.com/alanjhughes))
