| description | Build a device verification matrix and validate React Native or Expo changes across Expo Go, development builds, simulators, emulators, real devices, deep links, permissions, and release builds. |
Device Verification
Use this skill when a task needs simulator, emulator, real-device, Expo Go, development build, preview build, or production build validation.
Required Context
- Read
rules/device-verification.md.
- Read
specs/device-verification.md for matrix and record templates.
- For release tasks, also read
rules/app-release.md.
Workflow
- Classify the change: UI, navigation, form, native capability, config plugin, release.
- Pick the smallest verification matrix that still covers the risk.
- Run or request the relevant simulator/device/build checks.
- Record checked devices, OS versions, build type, and uncovered risks.
Checks
- Native capability changes are not validated only in Expo Go.
- iOS and Android behavior are both considered.
- Keyboard, safe area, permissions, and back behavior are covered when relevant.
- Unverified release risks are explicit.
