Can this skill help with existing React Native projects?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for migrating existing projects to Expo or managing 'Bare' React Native workflows for projects requiring deep native customization.

What role does Tauri play in this mobile skill?

Tauri is included as an emerging, lightweight alternative for developers who prioritize extremely small bundle sizes and want to leverage Rust-based security.

Does it support automated testing for mobile apps?

Absolutely. The toolchain includes configurations for unit testing with Jest and end-to-end (E2E) testing with Detox to ensure app stability.

How does this skill handle app store deployments?

It integrates with EAS (Expo Application Services) to automate builds and submissions to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Why is Expo the default recommendation in this toolchain?

Expo is the default because it offers the fastest path to production, a managed workflow that minimizes native complexity, and powerful features like OTA updates and EAS Build.
