Does it assist with iOS TestFlight distribution?

Absolutely. It includes streamlined commands to build your development client in the cloud and automatically submit it to App Store Connect for TestFlight testing.

How do I connect the custom dev client to my local code?

The skill guides you through starting the Metro bundler with the --dev-client flag and connecting your physical device via the launcher UI or a QR code.

Can I use this skill to build mobile apps locally?

Yes, it provides specific commands and workflows for building .ipa and .apk files locally on your machine using EAS CLI and local build tools like Xcode.

When should I use this skill instead of standard Expo Go?

Use this skill when your project requires custom native code, Apple targets like widgets, or third-party modules that are not included in the standard Expo Go runtime.

What configuration changes are needed for my project?

This skill helps you update your eas.json to include a development profile with developmentClient set to true and automated versioning enabled.

Mobile Development

Streamlines the creation, configuration, and distribution of custom Expo development clients for native mobile applications.

This skill provides specialized guidance for developers using Expo and EAS Build to create custom development clients. It is particularly useful when an application outgrows the standard Expo Go environment due to requirements for custom native modules, Apple targets like widgets, or third-party native dependencies. The skill automates the configuration of eas.json, provides precise commands for cloud and local builds, and simplifies the distribution process via TestFlight or direct device installation, ensuring a seamless bridge between JavaScript development and native capabilities.
