System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers run an Expo or React Native app on a physical phone or tablet and troubleshoot common connection and deployment problems that prevent the device from loading the development build.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Run on real devices: Start the Expo dev server and connect via Expo Go, LAN, tunnel, or USB to test on iOS and Android devices.
  • Dev builds for native modules: Build and install dev clients or use EAS Build when Expo Go lacks required native modules.
  • Troubleshooting guidance: Steps for QR scanning, tunnel fallback, USB debugging, firewall and VPN issues.
  • Use Case: A developer who needs to verify native functionality like camera or notifications on a physical device instead of an emulator.

Quick Start

Start the Expo dev server from the project root and scan the terminal QR code with Expo Go or use tunnel or USB as needed to run the app on your device.
