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

1. Classify the change: UI, navigation, form, native capability, config plugin, release.
2. Pick the smallest verification matrix that still covers the risk.
3. Run or request the relevant simulator/device/build checks.
4. 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.
