What problem does it solve?

Developers need to modify iOS and Android native configuration for Expo projects without ejecting or manually editing generated files, which is error‑prone and hard to maintain.

Core Features & Use Cases

Config Plugin Creation: Write TypeScript plugins that adjust Info.plist, entitlements, Xcode project settings, AndroidManifest.xml, and Gradle files.
Built‑in Plugin Utilization: Leverage existing Expo plugins for common capabilities like camera, location, and notifications.
CNG Workflow Support: Integrate plugins into Continuous Native Generation to keep native code in sync with source changes.
Testing & Validation: Run npx expo prebuild --no-install to preview modifications and ensure build health.

Quick Start

Use the mobile-config-plugins skill to add an Apple Pay entitlement and a custom URL scheme to my Expo app.

FAQPage Schema

How do I modify iOS and Android native configuration in an Expo app without ejecting?▼

Use Expo config plugins to write TypeScript code that programmatically modifies Xcode project settings, AndroidManifest.xml, and Gradle files without ejecting your project.

What are Expo config plugins and when do I need them?▼

Expo config plugins are JavaScript functions that add or modify native iOS and Android configuration. You need them when customizing app.json capabilities like deep links or Apple Pay entitlements not covered by built-in plugins.

How do I test and validate Expo config plugin changes to native files?▼

Run `npx expo prebuild --no-install` to preview how your config plugins modify generated native iOS and Android files before committing to a full build.

Does Continuous Native Generation work with custom Expo config plugins?▼

Yes, config plugins integrate directly into the Continuous Native Generation workflow, keeping your native iOS and Android code synchronized with source changes without manual file editing.

What do I need to know to create custom Expo config plugins?▼

Creating custom config plugins requires knowledge of the Expo config plugin API, JavaScript or TypeScript, and familiarity with iOS Info.plist or AndroidManifest.xml structures you intend to modify.

Why should I use config plugins instead of manually editing native iOS and Android files?▼

Manually editing generated native files is error-prone and hard to maintain. Config plugins keep native modifications in source control via TypeScript, ensuring reproducible Continuous Native Generation builds.
