@nx/expo:run

Run Expo target options.

Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/reference/project-configuration#targets.

The run command allows you to compile your app locally.

project.json:

{
  "name": "mobile",
  //...
  "targets": {
    //...
    "run-ios": {
      "executor": "@nx/expo:run",
      "options": {

      }
    },

      "options": {
        "platform": "android"
      }
    }
    //...
  }
}
