Summary

  • add a --skip-bundler flag to eas build:dev
  • skip launching expo start --dev-client after installing a cached or freshly built dev client when that flag is used
  • document the new flag in the CLI README and changelog

Why

eas build:dev currently always installs the matching dev client and then starts the local Expo/Metro server. For cases where the goal is only to install the updated client, that extra server startup is unnecessary and gets in the way.

Validation

  • yarn fmt packages/eas-cli/src/commands/build/dev.ts packages/eas-cli/README.md CHANGELOG.md
