Welcome to your Expo app 👋

This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app.

Get started

1. Install dependencies

   npm install

2. Start the app

   npx expo start

In the output, you'll find options to open the app in a

• development build
• Android emulator
• iOS simulator
• Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo

Testing with Expo Go

Expo Go is the easiest way to test your app locally on a physical device without setting up a full development environment.

Setup

1. Install Expo Go on your device

   • Download from the App Store for iOS
   • Download from the Google Play Store for Android

2. Start your development server

   npx expo start

3. Connect your device to the same network as your development machine (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)

Using Expo Go

1. Scan the QR code displayed in the terminal after running npx expo start

   • Open Expo Go app on your device
   • Tap "Scan QR Code" and point your camera at the QR code in the terminal

2. Alternative connection methods:

   • Manual URL entry: Type the URL shown in the terminal (e.g., exp://192.168.1.100:8081) into Expo Go's search bar
   • Email/SMS: Use the e or s keys in the terminal to send a link to your device

3. Live reloading: Any changes you make to the code will automatically reload in the Expo Go app

Limitations

Expo Go has some limitations compared to development builds:

• Cannot use custom native modules
• Limited to the modules included in the Expo Go app
• Some advanced features may not be available

For production testing or apps requiring custom native code, consider using development builds instead.

You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.

Get a fresh project

When you're ready, run:

npm run reset-project

This command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.
