Expo TypeScript Template for Production Apps
The template create-expo-app should have been.
Beyond basic templates: Expo SDK 54 with Supabase backend, RevenueCat payments, PostHog analytics, and strict TypeScript. Mock mode and AI context included. Updated 2026.
Why Shipnative?
create-expo-app gives you a blank canvas. Shipnative gives you a production app. Same TypeScript foundation, but with authentication, payments, analytics, and a complete feature set for 2026. Mock mode means you can start building immediately without any backend configuration. AI context files help Cursor, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3 Pro generate code that matches your project's architecture from the very first prompt.
Production Auth
Supabase with Email/Password, Magic Links, Google OAuth, Apple Sign-In. RLS policies included.
RevenueCat Payments
iOS, Android, and Web subscriptions. Paywall components. Mock mode for testing.
PostHog Analytics
Event tracking, screen views, and feature flags. All baked into components.
AI-Ready Context
AGENTS.md docs so Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro, ChatGPT 5.3-codex, and Cursor understand your codebase and write matching code.
Universal Platform
iOS, Android, and Web from one codebase. Expo SDK 54.
Mock Mode
Build entire features without API keys. Flip one env flag to go live. Zero code changes.
