Expo Installation

Use this guide for Expo Development Builds.

Requirements​

  • Expo SDK >=51
  • newArchEnabled: true
  • Development build workflow (expo prebuild + expo run:*)

1. Install package​

npm install @saltware/fidbek-react-native
# or
yarn add @saltware/fidbek-react-native

2. Configure app.json​

{
  "expo": {
    "newArchEnabled": true,
    "plugins": ["@saltware/fidbek-react-native"]
  }
}

plugins entry is optional today. The plugin is currently a no-op but can be kept for future-proof config migrations.

3. Generate native projects​

npx expo prebuild

If you previously generated native folders and config changed, re-run with --clean.

4. Run native builds​

npx expo run:ios
npx expo run:android

Notes​

  • Expo Go is not supported (native binary module)
  • Autolinking works through Expo prebuild
  • No custom Metro override is required
