There is no --json on eas env:list, so I rebuilt my environment variable inventory
eas env:list does not accept a --json flag. Here is how I turn --format short output into safe JSON, and how I spot a missing variable across three environments in one line.
I counted how many versions expo install starts recommending after one patch bump
What expo install recommends is tied to the patch version of expo itself. I measured the ledger diff against the npm registry, how far npm install drifts, and the one check worth adding to a generated project.
My generated wallpaper catalog hashed differently on every run — isolating five sources of nondeterminism
The same image folder refused to produce the same catalog.json twice. Directory enumeration order, JSON.stringify key reordering, collation, Unicode normalization, and async completion order — measured one at a time across 1,225 files until the output settled on a single hash.
What Renovate may bump in an Expo app, and what it must never touch
Turning on automated dependency updates in a Rork-generated app also hands Renovate the 123 packages Expo SDK 57 pins. Measured on 2026-07-30, six of them sit a full major version behind npm latest. Here is how to generate the ignore list from the SDK instead of maintaining it by hand.
Holding Layer Boundaries in a Rork-Generated Expo App with ESLint and dependency-cruiser
Long-lived Rork-generated Expo apps quietly accumulate screens that import the API client directly. Here is how I froze 214 existing violations as a baseline, eliminated 17 circular dependencies, and made CI reject anything new for 38 extra seconds.
Why Untranslated Strings Leak to Production Every Time You Add a Language — A Catalog and Gap-Detection Design for Rork (Expo) Apps
A design for stopping untranslated strings from leaking into production after you localize a Rork-generated Expo app. Covers a single source-of-truth catalog, CI-based missing/extra key detection, explicit fallback chains, plurals, and pseudolocalization for layout — with implementation.
Before You Burn Out Hand-Testing Every Release: Automate Your Rork App's Critical Flows with Maestro
With Rork, a prompt that fixes one screen can quietly break another. Here is how I automate the revenue-critical path from launch to paywall using Maestro and run it in CI, including the spots where I got stuck as an indie developer.
