Summary

Expo Simulators, currently in limited beta, allows teams to share iOS Simulator and Android Emulator builds through browser-based sessions, enabling reviewers to tap, scroll, and type through apps without installing TestFlight builds, using a Mac, or owning a mobile device. Sessions can use EAS Build artifacts, app archives, or Expo Go, with iOS simulator builds requiring an appropriate profile and Android builds requiring an APK; Android support remains under development. Running sessions can be shared through private links for authorized Expo project members or public links for anyone with the URL, while create-session links are suited to pull requests and CI because they start a new session whenever opened by an eligible Expo user. Sessions can be named, limited in duration, stopped manually, and run separately for multiple builds, although create-session links consume simulator time per session. The service also provides agent-oriented Expo Skills for automating session setup and pull-request link creation.
