```bash
npx nx affected:test # Test only affected projects

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### App won't start?
```bash
cd my-nx-expo-app
npx nx reset
npx nx start mobile --clear

### TypeScript errors with className?
The `nativewind-env.d.ts` file is already created. Restart your IDE.

### Styles not applying?
Make sure `global.css` is imported in your component (already done in App.tsx).
