Expo/React Native module to add developer menu to Debug builds of your application. This package is intended to be included in your project through expo-dev-client.
You can find more information in the Expo documentation.
The expo-dev-menu repository consists of two different parts, the exported package, which includes the native functions, located in the android, ios and src folders and the Dev Menu interface, located under the app folder.
Local development is usually done through bare-expo.
First, make sure to yarn and yarn start in expo-dev-menu which will add the port for the dev menu packager to dev-menu-packager-host. This is bundled into the native code in bare-expo so need to be done first. When done with local development, you need to reset the contents of dev-menu-packager-host!
To update the JavaScript code inside the app folder, you need to run the dev-menu bundler locally.
- Navigate to the
dev-menupackage:cd packages/expo-dev-menu - Start the Metro bundler:
yarn start - To use your local bundler on Android, open DevMenuManager.kt and set
useDeveloperSupporttotrue.
