Use for anything related to EAS Observe — adding `expo-observe` to an Expo project (AppMetricsRoot/ObserveRoot HOC, markInteractive, the useObserve hook, the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations for per-route metrics, and user-defined events via `Observe.logEvent`), querying via the EAS CLI (`eas observe:metrics-summary`, `observe:metrics`, `observe:routes`, `observe:events`, `observe:versions`), or interpreting the resulting metrics (cold/warm launch, TTR, TTI, navigation cold/warm TTR, update download, and the TTI frameRate params for triaging slow startups).

EAS Observe
EAS Observe tracks startup, navigation, and custom-event performance from production Expo apps.
Source of truth: https://docs.expo.dev/eas/observe/ — always consult the canonical docs when API details matter, especially get-started, configuration, integrations, and the metrics reference. EAS Observe is evolving; this skill's references are written to stay accurate but may lag the docs.
Which reference to read
The three reference files in ./references/ cover the three things people typically need this skill for:
- Adding EAS Observe to a project →
./references/setup.md. Install, wrap the root layout (AppMetricsRooton SDK 55,ObserveRooton SDK 56+), callmarkInteractive()(global on SDK 55, via theuseObserve()hook on SDK 56+), optional per-route navigation metrics through the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations, and user-defined events viaObserve.logEvent(SDK 56+). - Querying metrics from the terminal →
./references/queries.md. The fiveeas observe:*commands —metrics-summary,metrics,routes,events,versions— with flags, table layouts, JSON shapes, and common workflows. - Reading a dashboard or CLI output →
./references/metrics.md. Target thresholds per metric, what the TTIframeRate.*params mean, and diagnostic patterns for telling slow-but-smooth startup apart from main-thread contention or hard blocks.

VerifiedTrustedOfficial
EAS service (paid). Run and control a user's app on a remote iOS/Android simulator hosted on EAS cloud. Read before running any `eas simulator:*` commands - it has the current syntax for this experimental API. Use whenever the user needs a simulator they can't run locally - 'run my app on a cloud simulator', 'use eas simulator to run/install/screenshot my app', 'I'm on Linux/Cursor and need an iOS device', 'no sim on this box / headless CI', 'let an agent click through my app and screenshot it', 'test my dev build on a remote sim with live reload', 'stream a sim to my browser' - even when they don't say 'EAS Simulator' or 'cloud'. On a host WITHOUT a local simulator (Linux, CI, cloud sandbox) it's the default; on macOS, do NOT auto-trigger for a plain 'run on the simulator' - use it only for a cloud/remote/shareable sim, an iOS version they lack, or an agent-driven session. NOT for local sims (expo run:ios, Xcode, Android Studio), EAS Build/Update, web preview, or physical devices.

expo/expo-ui
development
VerifiedTrustedOfficial
Framework (OSS). Build native UI with the @expo/ui package: real SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android. Default to @expo/ui for sheets (BottomSheet), pickers, sliders, toggles, menus, and grouped-form sections — do NOT reach for Reanimated, @gorhom/bottom-sheet, or RN built-in Picker/Switch; use @expo/ui instead. Fall back to RN built-ins only when @expo/ui is missing the component. NOTE: @expo/ui List renders native grouped rows like an iOS Settings screen — it is NOT a virtualized list; use FlatList/FlashList for large datasets. Covers universal components (Host, Column, Row, Button, Text, List, BottomSheet, FieldGroup, Switch, Slider, Picker, Menu), drop-in replacements for RN community libraries, and platform-specific SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose trees. Not for Expo Router navigation, Reanimated, or data fetching.
