Tauri + Expo Cross-Platform Starter

This repo combines Expo (React Native) for Android, iOS, and Web with Tauri for Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux). It lets you share code and UI across all platforms, with Tauri wrapping the Expo web build for desktop apps.

Structure

• expo-app/ — Your Expo project (React Native code, assets, components)
• src-tauri/ — Tauri Rust backend and config
• public/ — Static assets for web/desktop
• package.json — Scripts for dev/build

Key Commands

Development

• npm run dev — Starts Expo web, Tauri desktop, and injects Tauri bridge for desktop API access (requires concurrently)
  • Expo web: hot reload for web/mobile
  • Tauri: wraps the web build for desktop

Building

• npm run build — Builds Expo web, injects Tauri bridge, then builds Tauri desktop app

Mobile/Web

• cd expo-app && npx expo start — Start Expo for Android/iOS/Web

Desktop

• npm run dev:tauri — Start Tauri desktop app (wraps Expo web build)

Features

• Shared UI and logic for all platforms
• Tauri API access in desktop via runtime bridge

Troubleshooting

• If desktop links don't open, check tauri-plugin-opener setup and permissions
• If Tauri APIs aren't available, ensure the runtime bridge script is injected into index.html after Expo build
