Frequently Asked Questions about expo-dev-client

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test native code changes on physical devices without Expo Go?▼

To test native code changes without Expo Go, you need an Expo development client. This Skill creates custom clients for iOS and Android, allowing you to run native modifications directly on physical devices.

How do I build an iOS development client and submit it to TestFlight?▼

To build and submit an iOS development client to TestFlight, you can use the EAS Build CLI command `eas build -p ios --profile development --submit`. This automates the build and submission process for your Expo app.

Do I need EAS Build CLI to create Expo development clients?▼

Yes, you need the EAS Build CLI installed to create Expo development clients. This Skill relies on the eas-cli dependency to configure and execute both local builds and TestFlight submissions.

Can I build Expo development clients locally for both iOS and Android?▼

Yes, you can build Expo development clients locally for both iOS and Android. This Skill configures EAS Build profiles to generate the necessary native code and run builds on your machine for physical device testing.

When should I use a custom development client instead of Expo Go?▼

Use a custom development client when your Expo app requires native code changes. Expo Go only supports standard React Native libraries, so a custom client is necessary to test native modules or configurations not included in Expo Go.

What is the best way to configure EAS Build for native development testing?▼

The best way to configure EAS Build for native development testing is by setting up a development profile. This Skill configures the EAS Build profiles to generate clients that support local builds and TestFlight submissions for iOS and Android.
