When do I need an Expo development client instead of Expo Go?▼

You need an Expo development client when your app includes custom native code or Apple targets that Expo Go cannot execute, enabling local testing and easier distribution.

How do I distribute an Expo development client to TestFlight?▼

You can deploy your Expo development client to TestFlight by using EAS Build, which generates debuggable builds for beta testing and stakeholder feedback.

What EAS configuration is required to build a development client?▼

Building a development client requires an EAS configuration with the developmentClient option set to true and a development profile to generate debuggable builds.

Can I use EAS Build to test native code changes on iOS and Android?▼

Yes, EAS Build creates development clients that allow you to build and test native code changes directly on both iOS and Android physical devices.

Are there limitations to using Expo Go for testing native modules?▼
