How does this handle native platform colors?

The skill includes specialized CSS variable configurations and media queries to support iOS System Colors (platformColor) and Android-specific font scaling.

Does this setup require Babel configuration?

No, this skill implements Tailwind v4's modern CSS-first approach, which eliminates the need for legacy Babel presets or plugins typically used in older NativeWind versions.

Why do I need the component wrappers provided by this skill?

NativeWind v5 with react-native-css requires native components to be wrapped with the useCssElement hook to properly interpret and apply className props on mobile platforms.

Can I use this for web and mobile simultaneously?

Yes, this configuration is designed specifically for universal Expo apps, providing a consistent styling experience across iOS, Android, and Web platforms.
