• Run npx expo prebuild to propagate these changes (https://docs.expo.dev/more/expo-cli/)

  • This may be necessary to reset your local dev environment or if there are major changes to app.json (eg title change)
  • If necessary, follow the steps here to setup Notifee: https://notifee.app/react-native/docs/ios/remote-notification-support
• npx expo run:ios to test iOS changes locally
  • If there are issues building, try removing build/* and Pods/* from /ios, and run pod install in /ios
• npx expo run:android to test Android changes locally
  • Make sure java -version matches Gradle build version
    • Check gradle-wrapper.properties for Gradle version and find the applicable Java version
