hz-react-native-expo

Build and iterate on React Native apps for Meta VR / Horizon OS with Expo. Covers the fast dev loop — install Expo Go from the Meta Horizon Store, run a Metro dev server, load its bundle URL on the headset, and get live Fast Refresh — plus the full development-build path with the expo-horizon-core config plugin, prebuild, Quest product flavors, and the Horizon-forked libraries (location, notifications, IAP). Use when the user wants to build or run a Meta VR app in React Native/Expo, load a JS bundle URL on a headset, set up expo-horizon-core, or get live reload on device. Build path: Standard Android with React Native; use hz-quest-verify-first if the path is unclear.

# React Native on Meta VR with Expo

Build React Native apps for Meta VR / Horizon OS using Expo — the tooling Meta
recommends for React Native on Meta VR. This skill focuses on the **development
loop**: get your JS running on the headset and iterating with live reload, then
graduate to a full Meta VR development build when you need native Horizon features.

A Meta VR RN app renders as a **2D panel** in Horizon OS. This is Android app
development, so the headset-setup, ADB, and device basics live in other skills —
this skill references them instead of repeating them (see
[`hz-new-project-creation`](../hz-new-project-creation/SKILL.md) for developer-mode
and dashboard setup, [`metavr-cli`](../metavr-cli/SKILL.md) for device/ADB
commands, and [`portal`](../portal/SKILL.md) for the Android build toolchain).
