Convex in React Native (Expo) — Agent Skill

Why this exists

Expo + React Native has a couple of “gotchas” compared to web React when integrating Convex:

• You must configure the deployment URL as EXPO_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL and make it available both locally and in EAS builds. (Expo reads EXPO_PUBLIC_* variables at runtime/build time.)
• You should initialise ConvexReactClient with unsavedChangesWarning: false in Expo/React Native projects.
• npx convex dev does more than start “a server”: it creates/configures the project, creates the convex/ backend folder, and keeps generated types up to date in convex/_generated.

This skill is a repeatable, “copy/paste safe” workflow to add Convex to an Expo project and keep the frontend and backend in sync.
