Can I build development clients locally?

Yes, the skill provides commands for local builds using EAS for both iOS (requires Xcode) and Android.

What is the benefit of the autoIncrement setting?

Setting autoIncrement to true ensures that build numbers are automatically updated by EAS, preventing version conflicts during distribution.

When do I need a development client instead of Expo Go?

You need a dev client when your app requires custom native code, local Expo modules, or third-party native modules not included in the standard Expo Go environment.

How does this skill help with TestFlight?

It automates the process of building the iOS development client in the cloud and submitting it directly to App Store Connect for TestFlight distribution.

Streamlines the creation and distribution of Expo development clients for testing custom native code on physical devices.

This skill simplifies the workflow for building and managing custom Expo development clients, which are necessary when your React Native project requires native modules or configurations beyond the standard Expo Go app. It provides automated guidance for configuring eas.json, executing cloud builds for TestFlight distribution, performing local builds for iOS and Android, and troubleshooting common environment issues, ensuring developers can test native functionality with minimal friction.
