On iOS, tapping "+" → "Add image" in the Composer left an invisible backdrop trapping touches after the native photo picker dismissed. Root cause: the dropdown menu's onSelect fired while the RN Modal was still completing UIKit dismissal, so PHPicker presented over a dismissing Modal that never cleanly released. DropdownMenu now defers the selected item's onSelect until Modal onDismiss (UIKit-level completion) plus a short buffer on iOS, then invokes it. Same DropdownMenu instance — no per-call opt-in. Along the way, the Maestro repro surfaced a controlled-TextInput character-drop race: fast inputText on a controlled input drops characters mid-type. Direct-host and pair-link inputs are now ref-backed uncontrolled inputs with stable testIDs. New reusable E2E primitives under packages/app/maestro/: - flows/land-in-chat.yaml — clearState + direct connect to 127.0.0.1:6767, lands in the composer. Compose on this for any composer-level fixture. - image-picker-repro.yaml — regression for the zombie-backdrop bug. docs/MOBILE_TESTING.md gains the patterns: reach-the-composer via land-in-chat, uncontrolled inputs for Maestro-typed fields, and the dropdown → native-presenter dismissal timing on iOS. Existing relay-pairing and relay-then-direct fixtures updated to use stable testIDs instead of ambiguous text / point-based taps.
Welcome to your Expo app 👋
This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app.
Get started
-
Install dependencies
npm install -
Start the app
npx expo start
In the output, you'll find options to open the app in a
- development build
- Android emulator
- iOS simulator
- Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo
You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.
Get a fresh project
When you're ready, run:
npm run reset-project
This command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.

Dictation debugging
Set EXPO_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUDIO_DEBUG=1 before running npx expo start to render the in-app audio debug card. Pair it with the server-side STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR flag so every dictation includes a copyable path to the saved raw audio file.
