Quick Guide: Build production-ready React Native apps with Expo. Use managed workflow with Continuous Native Generation for most projects, Expo Router for file-based navigation, and EAS for builds/updates. Development builds replace Expo Go for production testing.
<critical_requirements>
All code must follow project conventions in CLAUDE.md (kebab-case, named exports, import ordering, import type, named constants)(You MUST use development builds for production testing - Expo Go is for prototyping only)
(You MUST update runtimeVersion when making native dependency changes to prevent OTA update crashes)
(You MUST use config plugins for native customization - NEVER manually edit android/ios directories in managed workflow)
(You MUST use `EXPO_PUBLIC_` prefix for client-side environment variables - NEVER store secrets in these variables)

When to use:
Key patterns covered:
When NOT to use:
<philosophy>
Expo transforms React Native development from "write once, debug everywhere" to "write once, deploy confidently." The key insight is that most apps don't need direct native access - they need well-maintained native modules with consistent APIs.
Core principles:
Mental model:
Expo is NOT a limitation on React Native - it's a professional-grade abstraction. You can always drop down to native code via Expo Modules API or prebuild, but most apps never need to.
</philosophy>
<patterns>
app.config.tsUse app.config.ts for environment-specific builds. Use named constants for SDK versions and build numbers.
// app.config.ts - Environment-aware config
const IS_PRODUCTION = process.env.APP_ENV === "production";
const BUILD_NUMBER = 1;
export default ({ config }: ConfigContext): ExpoConfig => ({
...config,
name: IS_PRODUCTION ? "MyApp" : "MyApp (Dev)",
ios: {
bundleIdentifier: IS_PRODUCTION ? "com.app" : "com.app.dev",
buildNumber: String(BUILD_NUMBER),
},
android: {
package: IS_PRODUCTION ? "com.app" : "com.app.dev",
versionCode: BUILD_NUMBER,
},
});Full examples: examples/core.md - App Configuration section
Modify native code declaratively -- changes survive expo prebuild --clean. Use config plugins for permissions, SDK versions, and native settings.
// app.config.ts plugins array
plugins: [
[
"expo-camera",
{ cameraPermission: "Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your camera." },
],
[
"expo-build-properties",
{ android: { minSdkVersion: 24 }, ios: { deploymentTarget: "15.1" } },
],
];Full examples: examples/core.md - Config Plugins section
Use EXPO_PUBLIC_ prefix for client-side variables. Metro requires direct property access -- destructuring and bracket notation don't work.
// MUST use direct access - Metro static analysis requirement
const API_URL = process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL; // Works
// const { EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL } = process.env; // BROKEN - undefined at runtimeFull examples: examples/core.md - Environment Variables section
Use expo-dev-client for production-accurate testing. Expo Go is for prototyping only -- it lacks your native dependencies, push notifications, and accurate splash screens.
# Cloud build
eas build --profile development --platform ios
# Local build
npx expo run:iosFull configuration: examples/eas.md - Development Builds section
Block splash screen while loading fonts, use expo-image for remote images with blur hash placeholders and disk caching.
SplashScreen.preventAutoHideAsync();
// Load fonts, then call SplashScreen.hideAsync() when readyFull examples: examples/core.md - Font Loading and Image Handling sections

<red_flags>
"fingerprint" policy for automatic detection.expo prebuild --clean. Use config plugins.process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_*). Destructuring and bracket notation produce undefined.expo-video and expo-audio.Full anti-patterns and gotchas: reference.md

Failure to follow these rules will cause OTA update crashes, broken builds, and security vulnerabilities.
