Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and other agents that read SKILL.md.
What it does

Creates custom development clients for testing native code changes, custom Expo modules, and third-party native libraries beyond what Expo Go supports. Use this when your app needs local native modules, config plugins, widgets, or other platform-specific features. Builds locally for free or via EAS Build for cloud distribution to TestFlight.

  • Generate custom Expo Go clients for testing native code branches on real iOS/Android devices
  • Support local Expo modules, config plugins, and third-party native code not in standard Expo Go
  • Build locally free or distribute via EAS Build to TestFlight for internal team testing
  • Configure EAS profiles and manage development vs. production build pipelines
