+Introduce `@clerk/expo-native-components`, a new package that the native components (`AuthView`, `UserButton`, `UserProfileView`) now require. Install it and rebuild your app.
+
+```sh
+npx expo install @clerk/expo-native-components
+```
+
+If it's missing, rendering a native component throws an error with these same steps. Install the package before you ship this version in an over-the-air update, because the error is thrown at runtime and not at build time.
+
+Import the native components and their hooks from `@clerk/expo/native-components`. `@clerk/expo/native` is deprecated. It still works and logs a warning in development.
+
+Apps that don't install the package no longer include the Clerk iOS and Android SDKs and no longer require iOS 17. On Android, those apps also stop migrating biometric credentials enrolled with earlier versions of `@clerk/expo`, so users who weren't migrated by an earlier release need to enroll again.

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Install this package to use `AuthView`, `UserButton`, and `UserProfileView` from `@clerk/expo/native-components`. Its JavaScript API is used by `@clerk/expo` and isn't meant to be imported directly.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+`@clerk/expo-native-components` contains the native code behind Clerk's prebuilt native components for Expo apps that use [`@clerk/expo`](https://github.com/clerk/javascript/tree/main/packages/expo). The components are built on the Clerk iOS and Android SDKs. Apps that don't install it don't include those SDKs.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- `@clerk/expo`
+- Expo 54 or later, in a [development build](https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/introduction/) (the components are not available in Expo Go)
+- iOS 17 or later
+
+### Installation
+
+```sh
+npx expo install @clerk/expo-native-components
+```
+
+Then rebuild your native app.
+
+## Usage
+
+For further information, guides, and examples visit the [Expo reference documentation](https://clerk.com/docs/references/expo/overview?utm_source=github&utm_medium=clerk_expo_native_components).

+/**
+ * Native UI components for Clerk authentication in Expo apps.
+ *
+ * These components provide pre-built, native authentication experiences powered by:
+ * - **iOS**: clerk-ios (SwiftUI) - https://github.com/clerk/clerk-ios
+ * - **Android**: clerk-android (Jetpack Compose) - https://github.com/clerk/clerk-android
+ *
+ * ## Installation
+ *
+ * Native components require the `@clerk/expo-native-components` config plugin in your `app.json`, alongside `@clerk/expo`:
+ *
+ * ```json
+ * {
+ *   "expo": {
+ *     "plugins": ["@clerk/expo", "@clerk/expo-native-components"]
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Then run `npx expo prebuild` to generate native code.
+ *
+ * ## Components
+ *
+ * - {@link AuthView} - Authentication flow (sign-in/sign-up), renders inline
+ * - {@link UserProfileView} - User profile and account management, renders inline
+ * - {@link UserButton} - Avatar button that opens the native user profile
+ *
+ * @module @clerk/expo-native-components

-/**
- * Native UI components for Clerk authentication in Expo apps.
- *
- * These components provide pre-built, native authentication experiences powered by:
- * - **iOS**: clerk-ios (SwiftUI) - https://github.com/clerk/clerk-ios
- * - **Android**: clerk-android (Jetpack Compose) - https://github.com/clerk/clerk-android
- *
- * ## Installation
- *
- * Native components require the `@clerk/expo` plugin to be configured in your `app.json`:
- *
- * ```json
- * {
- *   "expo": {
- *     "plugins": ["@clerk/expo"]
- *   }
- * }
- * ```
- *
- * Then run `npx expo prebuild` to generate native code.
- *
- * ## Components
- *
- * - {@link AuthView} - Authentication flow (sign-in/sign-up), renders inline
- * - {@link UserProfileView} - User profile and account management, renders inline
- * - {@link UserButton} - Avatar button that opens the native user profile
- *
- * @module @clerk/expo/native
