🚨 This plugin is no longer maintained
I’ve moved on from the Expo plugin system and built a significantly better alternative.
🔄 Why the change?
Expo plugins were limiting. So I built a standalone desktop app for macOS that works with any JavaScript-based app — native or non-native — and gives me way more control with more stable development tools.
✅ No Expo dependency
✅ Works outside the plugin system
✅ Compatible with all JS/native app setups
✅ Cleaner, faster, more reliable
