A reference of available properties in Expo app config.
The following is a list of properties that are available for you under the "expo" key in app.json or app.config.json. These properties can be passed to the top level object of app.config.js or app.config.ts.
For more general information on app configuration, such as the differences between the various app configuration files, see Configuration with app.json/app.config.js.
stringThe name of your app as it appears both within Expo Go and on your home screen as a standalone app.
stringThe name of the Expo account that owns the project. This is useful for teams collaborating on a project. If not provided, the owner defaults to the username of the current user.
stringThe auto generated Expo account name and slug used for display purposes. It is not meant to be set directly. Formatted like @username/slug. When unauthenticated, the username is @anonymous. For published projects, this value may change when a project is transferred between accounts or renamed.
stringThe auto generated Expo account name and slug used for services like Notifications and AuthSession proxy. It is not meant to be set directly. Formatted like @username/slug. When unauthenticated, the username is @anonymous. For published projects, this value will not change when a project is transferred between accounts or renamed.

stringYour app version. In addition to this field, you'll also use ios.buildNumber and android.versionCode — read more about how to version your app here. On iOS this corresponds to CFBundleShortVersionString, and on Android, this corresponds to versionName. The required format can be found here.
arrayPlatforms that your project explicitly supports. If not specified, it defaults to ["ios", "android"].
Example
[
"ios",
"android",
"web"
]stringIf you would like to share the source code of your app on Github, enter the URL for the repository here and it will be linked to from your Expo project page.
Example
"https://github.com/expo/expo"enumLocks your app to a specific orientation with portrait or landscape. Defaults to no lock. Valid values: default, portrait, landscape
enumConfiguration to force the app to always use the light or dark user-interface appearance, such as "dark mode", or make it automatically adapt to the system preferences. If not provided, defaults to light. Requires expo-system-ui be installed in your project to work on Android.
stringThe background color for your app, behind any of your React views. This is also known as the root view background color. Requires expo-system-ui be installed in your project to work on iOS.
6 character long hex color string, for example, '#000000'. Default is white: '#ffffff'
stringOn Android, this will determine the color of your app in the multitasker. Currently this is not used on iOS, but it may be used for other purposes in the future.
6 character long hex color string, for example, '#000000'
stringLocal path or remote URL to an image to use for your app's icon. We recommend that you use a 1024x1024 png file. This icon will appear on the home screen and within the Expo Go app.
To change your app's icon, edit or replace the files in ios/<PROJECT-NAME>/Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset (we recommend using Xcode), and android/app/src/main/res/mipmap-<RESOLUTION>. Be sure to follow the guidelines for each platform (iOS, Android 7.1 and below, and Android 8+) and to provide your new icon in each existing size.
objectConfiguration for remote (push) notifications.
string • Path: notification.icon(Android only) Local path or remote URL to an image to use as the icon for push notifications. 96x96 png grayscale with transparency. We recommend following Google's design guidelines. If not provided, defaults to your app icon.
string • Path: notification.color(Android only) Tint color for the push notification image when it appears in the notification tray. Defaults to #ffffff
6 character long hex color string, for example, '#000000'
boolean • Path: notification.iosDisplayInForegroundWhether or not to display notifications when the app is in the foreground on iOS. _displayInForeground option in the individual push notification message overrides this option. Learn more. Defaults to false.
enum • Path: notification.androidModeShow each push notification individually (default) or collapse into one (collapse).
objectConfiguration for the status bar on Android. For more details please navigate to Configuring StatusBar.
enum • Path: androidStatusBar.barStyleConfigures the status bar icons to have a light or dark color. Valid values: light-content, dark-content. Defaults to dark-content
string • Path: androidStatusBar.backgroundColorSpecifies the background color of the status bar. Defaults to #00000000 (transparent) for dark-content bar style and #00000088 (semi-transparent black) for light-content bar style

hidden
boolean • Path: androidStatusBar.hiddenInstructs the system whether the status bar should be visible or not. Defaults to false
boolean • Path: androidStatusBar.translucentWhen false, the system status bar pushes the content of your app down (similar to position: relative). When true, the status bar floats above the content in your app (similar to position: absolute). Defaults to true to match the iOS status bar behavior (which can only float above content). Explicitly setting this property to true will add android:windowTranslucentStatus to styles.xml and may cause unexpected keyboard behavior on Android when using the softwareKeyboardLayoutMode set to resize. In this case you will have to use KeyboardAvoidingView to manage the keyboard layout.
objectConfiguration for the bottom navigation bar on Android. Can be used to configure the expo-navigation-bar module in EAS Build.
enum • Path: androidNavigationBar.visibleDetermines how and when the navigation bar is shown. Learn more. Requires expo-navigation-bar be installed in your project. Valid values: leanback, immersive, sticky-immersive
leanback results in the navigation bar being hidden until the first touch gesture is registered.
immersive results in the navigation bar being hidden until the user swipes up from the edge where the navigation bar is hidden.
sticky-immersive is identical to 'immersive' except that the navigation bar will be semi-transparent and will be hidden again after a short period of time.

string • Path: experiments.baseUrlExport a website relative to a subpath of a domain. The path will be prepended as-is to links to all bundled resources. Prefix the path with a / (recommended) to load all resources relative to the server root. If the path does not start with a / then resources will be loaded relative to the code that requests them, this could lead to unexpected behavior. Example '/subpath'. Defaults to '' (empty string).

boolean • Path: experiments.turboModulesEnables Turbo Modules, which are a type of native modules that use a different way of communicating between JS and platform code. When installing a Turbo Module you will need to enable this experimental option (the library still needs to be a part of Expo SDK already, like react-native-reanimated v2). Turbo Modules do not support remote debugging and enabling this option will disable remote debugging.
