Debug your app, without leaving your editor. The built-in expo debugger can connect directly to your simulator or phone, giving you complete insights into what your app is doing.

• .vscode/launch.json → Fully configure the expo debugger through VS Code launch scripts.

Live preview for native files

See how your changes in app.json or app.config.js would affect the native files created by npx expo prebuild. The previews are generated whenever you save the app manifest and won't affect existing files.

Open app.json or app.config.js and run the Expo: Preview Modifier command.

• AndroidManifest.xml → App manifest with settings for build tools, Android, and Google Play.
• gradle.properties → Configuration for the Grdle build toolkit itself.
• colors.xml → Color resources defining the color and opacity.

• [name].entitlements → Property list enabling permission to use services.
• Expo.plist → Supporting property list with config for Expo.

<br />

Live preview for manifest

Preview the generated manifests for your app. You can do this for the different config types listed below.

Open app.json or app.config.js and run the Expo: Preview Config command.
