Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "expo/skills:expo-dev-client" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/expo/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/plugins/expo/skills/expo-dev-client ~/.claude/skills/expo-dev-clientFrom README
Important: When Development Clients Are Needed Development clients are the recommended for any real or production app. Expo Go is a playground for learning and quick experiments with the native libraries it bundles; most apps outgrow it and move to a development client. See for the full reasoning.
