How does this handle sensitive API keys?

It provides patterns for using EXPO_PUBLIC_ environment variables for client-side configuration and advises keeping write-access secrets in server-side API routes only.

How is authentication handled securely?

The skill demonstrates how to use expo-secure-store for encrypted token storage instead of AsyncStorage, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive credentials.

Should I use Axios or Fetch with this skill?

This skill specifically recommends using the native Fetch API over Axios for better alignment with the Expo ecosystem and reduced bundle size.

Does this skill support TanStack Query?

Yes, it includes detailed setup and implementation patterns for TanStack Query (React Query), including mutations, invalidation, and offline persistence.

Mobile Development

Streamlines API integration, network state management, and secure data fetching for Expo and React Native applications.

This skill provides a standardized framework for implementing networking layers in Expo and React Native projects. It offers specialized guidance on using the native Fetch API, TanStack Query (React Query) for state management, and robust error-handling strategies including exponential backoff retries. Developers can leverage pre-defined patterns for secure authentication using Expo SecureStore, offline-first synchronization with NetInfo, and environment-specific configurations via Expo's public variable system. By following these best practices, the skill ensures mobile applications remain resilient, secure, and performant across varying network conditions.
