Expo and React Native

Install

npx expo install @vitrinka/expo react-native-view-shot react-native-keyboard-controller

Add the config plugin

Allowlist the build profiles that are permitted to carry the recorder.

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      ["@vitrinka/expo", { "allowedProfiles": ["development"] }]
    ]
  }
}

Wire Metro

One required line. The config plugin verifies it is present, so a missing wrapper fails the build rather than silently shipping the recorder.

// metro.config.js
const { withRecorderStrip } = require('@vitrinka/expo/recorder/metro');
module.exports = withRecorderStrip(config);

Mount it

The recorder mounts only on builds that explicitly set EXPO_PUBLIC_VITRINKA_URL. On every other build the entire recorder is stripped from the bundle at compile time.

import { VitrinkaRecorderRoot } from '@vitrinka/expo/recorder';

Link the device

No token is baked into a dev or TestFlight build. Tap the recorder's dot (Link recorder) for a short code and an Open vitrinka button; approve the code in vitrinka (pick the workspace when you belong to several) and the app receives a token that can only create and append to sessions there. It expires 30 days after its last use and is listed and revocable under Settings → tokens.

Unattended builds (a prod-backed test lane) can still carry an admin-minted recorder key as EXPO_PUBLIC_VITRINKA_TOKEN — project-pinned, session ingest only. Never a workspace token.
