Does it support background operations?

Yes, the skill covers task registration using Expo TaskManager and BackgroundFetch for running logic even when the application is backgrounded.

How does this skill handle Expo permissions?

It provides standardized patterns for requesting both foreground and background permissions for modules like Location and Camera, ensuring smooth user experience and platform compliance.

Is this skill compatible with modern React Native apps?

Absolutely. It focuses on modern Expo SDK patterns that are compatible with Managed workflows and applications using Expo modules in the Bare workflow.

Can this skill help with persistent data in Expo?

Yes, it includes implementation guides for Expo SecureStore for sensitive credentials and AsyncStorage for general persistent storage.

Mobile Development

Integrates native device features into Expo and React Native applications using best practices for permissions and configurations.

About

The Expo Modules skill provides Claude with the specialized knowledge required to implement and manage native device functionality within the Expo ecosystem. It covers a wide range of core SDK modules including Camera, Location, Notifications, File System, and Image Picker. By utilizing this skill, developers can ensure that native integrations follow modern implementation patterns, handle asynchronous permissions gracefully, and maintain high performance across iOS and Android platforms. It is particularly useful for building feature-rich mobile applications that require deep integration with hardware and OS-level capabilities.
