Expo File Manager

A file manager app built with React Native & Expo.

About The Project

With this app you can import/export photos and videos from/to photo gallery and also download files directly from the web.

Files managed by the app are kept within app's folder therefore they are not exposed to phone's built-in file manager unless the phone is rooted.

Here are some other features:

• A simple built-in web browser
• Transfer files from your PC through web sockets. (Socket app repo => https://github.com/martymfly/file-transfer-expo)
• Darkmode - Lightmode
• Passcode protection
• Unlock with biometrics

Deploy to iOS Device

This app uses native modules (like expo-share-intent) that require a Development Build. Follow these steps to deploy to a physical iPhone:

Prerequisites

• macOS with Xcode 16.1+ installed
• Apple Developer account (free account works)
• iPhone connected via USB

Steps

1. Install dependencies and generate iOS project

   npm install
   npx expo prebuild --platform ios

2. Configure code signing in Xcode

   open ios/teyvat.xcworkspace

   • Select the teyvat project → teyvat target → Signing & Capabilities
   • Enable Automatically manage signing
   • Select your Team (Personal Team)
   • Repeat for ShareExtension target

3. Deploy to device

   npx expo run:ios --device

   Select your iPhone from the device list.

4. Trust the developer certificate

   • On your iPhone: Settings → General → VPN & Device Management
   • Tap your Apple ID and select Trust

5. Launch the app

   • Open the installed app on your iPhone
   • The Expo Dev Client will load your application

Troubleshooting

• Xcode version error: Upgrade to Xcode 16.1+ from the App Store
• iOS platform not found: In Xcode → Settings → Platforms, download iOS 18.5+
• Signing errors: Ensure both teyvat and ShareExtension targets have the same team selected
