Adds custom user profile pages to Expo's native UserProfileView and UserButton APIs. Bridges row metadata and React Native destinations to Clerk's Android and iOS profile navigation, including URL rows and programmatic navigation. Includes unit coverage and a minor changeset.

🟡 Non-breaking Changes (2)

Modified: UserButton
- export declare function UserButton(): import("react/jsx-runtime").JSX.Element | null;
+ export declare function UserButton(input: UserButtonProps): JSX.Element | null;

Static analyzer: Breaking change in function UserButton: Return type changed: import("@types/react").JSX.Element|nullimport("@types/react").React.JSX.Element|null; Required parameter { userProfileProps } was added; Required parameter input was added

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (90%): The return type change is a cosmetic alias swap between structurally identical JSX.Element types (both resolve to the same React JSX element); the parameter change adds an optional input: UserButtonProps (all properties in UserButtonProps are optional), so no previously valid call site breaks — passing no arguments remains valid.

Modified: UserProfileView
- export declare function UserProfileView(input: UserProfileViewProps): import("react/jsx-runtime").JSX.Element;
+ export declare function UserProfileView(input: UserProfileViewProps): JSX.Element;

Static analyzer: Breaking change in function UserProfileView: Return type changed: import("@types/react").JSX.Elementimport("@types/react").React.JSX.Element

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (95%): The only change is the return type alias swap from react/jsx-runtime's JSX.Element to React.JSX.Element, which are structurally identical types; the parameter signature and UserProfileViewProps shape are unchanged (the new customPages property added to UserProfileViewProps is optional, so it is non-breaking for both input and output).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds custom profile pages to Expo UserProfileView and UserButton. React APIs serialize page metadata and render active content or external URLs. Android and iOS native views parse configuration, register destinations, support navigation actions, and emit lifecycle events. Tests and an integration flow cover serialization, rendering, URL handling, native prop wiring, and platform navigation. A changeset documents the release.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 32431

The custom native profile-page behavior is merge-ready after normal checks and review; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Rename the reused container type.

ClerkReactLogoContainerView now hosts arbitrary custom-page content, not only a logo. The name no longer describes the responsibility. Rename it to a neutral name, for example ClerkReactContentContainerView, and update the existing logo call sites.

Left a few minor comments but this is looking good overall.

Any thoughts on icon eventually accepting a React element? If that's not possible I think we should tell it to customer ping as well (not a blocker tho, we can follow up)

"info" -> R.drawable.ic_information_circle
"globe" -> R.drawable.ic_globe
"folder" -> R.drawable.ic_folder
"book" -> R.drawable.ic_folder

book maps to ic_folder here but to the SF Symbol "book" on iOS, is that intentional?

nit: similar to web, we just console.warn and drop the bad row in prod. Might also be good to do that

somethjiong like

if (__DEV__) {
  console.warn(`Duplicate user profile custom page path "${path}". Ignoring the duplicate.`);
}
continue;

FYI web went with a flat pageOrder in #9343 and we have placement here. I think placement is right for native since the built-in rows are fixed correct?

React Native views never self-measure, so Compose measured the AndroidView interop holder as zero and the rehosted subtree inherited empty bounds. The content still painted because RN lays it out from Yoga, but it was unreachable by accessibility and not clipped to the pushed destination.
Expo resolves event dispatchers with Mirror(reflecting:).children, which does not include inherited properties. Moving onCustomPageEvent onto the shared ClerkUserProfileCustomPageHost base class left it unbound, so custom page presented/dismissed events never reached JS and the page content never mounted.
Compose derives the interop MeasureSpec from the layout params of the view returned by the AndroidView factory. React Native views never self-measure, so the default WRAP_CONTENT collapsed the holder to zero and the rehosted subtree inherited empty bounds, leaving the content unreachable by accessibility and unclipped by the destination.

Should we apply the matching row’s label as the native navigation title here?
