Expo Mobile App Development Guide (Payments, Ads, Onboarding)
An opinionated ruleset that scaffolds Expo React Native apps with onboarding, a RevenueCat paywall, AdMob banners and i18n.

What it does
- Forces every new Expo project to include onboarding, paywall and settings screens plus a standard
src/app/src/context/src/lib/src/localeslayout. - Provides working snippets for RevenueCat purchases, AdMob banners (including
app.jsonplugin config and test IDs), expo-notifications, i18next localization and Reanimated. - Locks in
NativeTabsnavigation, provider nesting order (Theme → Onboarding → Ads) and the Onboarding → Paywall → Tabs flow. - Ships a 'never use' list (AsyncStorage, expo-av,
lineHeight, legacyTabs) and mandatory cleanup steps:npx expo install --fixthennpx expo prebuild --clean.
Who it's for
- Indie devs shipping repeat React Native / Expo Router apps.
- Anyone needing a monetized app template with subscriptions and ads.
- Teams tired of re-explaining the same stack conventions to Claude Code.
Examples
- "Create a new Expo app" → asks for the bundle ID, runs
bunx create-expo, then builds onboarding, paywall and settings. - "Add a banner ad under the tabs" → uses
TestIds.BANNERin dev and hides ads for premium users via the ads context. - "Build the paywall" → weekly and yearly plans with a '50% OFF' badge wired to RevenueCat packages.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo zaferayan/skills into my ~/.claude/skills/zafer-skills/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/zaferayan/skills.git ~/.claude/skills/zafer-skills⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Clone the repo into it:
git clone https://github.com/zaferayan/skills.git ~/.claude/skills/zafer-skills - Verify that
~/.claude/skills/zafer-skills/SKILL.mdexists. - Restart Claude Code and try a prompt like "Create a new Expo app".
- Note: never run
npm installinside the skill folder — create real projects in a separate path such as~/Projects/app-name.
