Use EAS Build to create development clients for testing native code changes on physical devices. Use this for creating custom Expo Go clients for testing branches of your app. Important: When Development Clients Are Needed Only create development clients when your app requires custom native code.

You need a dev client ONLY when using: - Local Expo modules (custom native code) - Apple targets (widgets, app clips, extensions) - Third-party native modules not in Expo Go Try Expo Go first with npx expo start. If everything works, you don't need a dev client. EAS Configuration Ensure eas.json has a development profile: json { "cli": { "version": "= 16.0.1", "appVersionSource": "remote" }, "build": { "production": { "autoIncrement": true }, "development": { "autoIncrement": true, "developmentClient": true } }, "submit": { "production": {}, "development": {} } } Key settings: - developmentClient: true - Bundles expo-dev-client for development builds - autoIncre
