React Native Expo
A guide to running end-to-end in Moropo tests using Expo
Using Expo Go
To use Expo Go in Moropo, upload the Expo Go .app and .apk in place of your release build files.
Using an Expo Dev Client
If you wish to test using an Expo Dev Client, follow Expo's instructions on producing an iOS Simulator build or Android APK. Once you have the build files (.app and .apk), you can upload them to Moropo in the usual way.
Launch your app via an Expo URL
These examples assume you're working with an Expo Dev Client.
Grab your Expo URL and use the
openLink
command to launch your app:appId: ${BUNDLEID}
---
- openLink:
link: "${BUNDLEID}://expo-development-client/?url=https://u.expo.dev/cx1e344b-8011-4434-91a6-dec36deb68c0?channel-name=moropo-452&runtime-version=exposdk:47.0.0&platform=ios"
If you're using the Moropo GitHub Expo Integration then the Expo Release Channel URL can be auto-populated for you via the ${EXPORELEASECHANNEL} variable.
appId: ${BUNDLEID}
---
- openLink:
link: "${BUNDLEID}://expo-development-client/?url=${EXPORELEASECHANNEL}"
If it's the first time opening Expo (as it always the case on Moropo clean devices) then you will be presented with the Expo onboarding flow:
Hello there, friend!Since this is your first time opening this development build, we wanted to show you this menu...👋

Expo onboarding flow appearing during a test run
It's easy to bypass this menu by adding the
disableOnboarding
parameter to the end of your Expo URL. This parameter will instruct Expo to skip this screen so you don't need to include it in your test flow.
Note, due to differences between Android & iOS this has to be formatted slightly differently for each.- Android -
%26disableOnboarding%3D1
- iOS -
&disableOnboarding=1
appId: ${BUNDLEID}
---
#Android Example
- openLink:
link: "${BUNDLEID}://expo-development-client/?url=${EXPORELEASECHANNEL}%26disableOnboarding%3D1"
#iOS Example
- openLink:
link: "${BUNDLEID}://expo-development-client/?url=${EXPORELEASECHANNEL}&disableOnboarding=1"
