• Ensure package is properly configured for npm publication
  • Verify files array in package.json (already correctly configured)
  • Verify publishConfig in package.json (already correctly configured)
  • Add .npmignore to exclude unnecessary files
  • Create PUBLISHING.md with comprehensive publishing guide
  • Update yarn.lock with new workspace names
• Run security checks
  • Check dependencies for vulnerabilities (none found)
  • Run CodeQL security scan (no issues found)
• Final validation and documentation review
  • Enhanced README with comprehensive installation guide
  • Added usage examples for all supported node types
  • Documented prerequisites and TypeScript support
  • Address code review feedback
  • Clarify directory vs package naming in documentation
• Add Expo compatibility documentation

@copilot would this work in expo?

@copilot would this work in expo?

Yes, but with Expo development builds only, not Expo Go.

This package contains native Rust code and requires React Native's New Architecture, so it won't work with Expo Go. However, it works with Expo projects using custom development builds.

I've added Expo setup instructions to the README (commit 81f66f0) including:

• How to create a development build with npx expo run:ios/android
• Configuring New Architecture via expo-build-properties plugin
• Using EAS Build for production builds

The key steps are: install with npx expo install react-native-lni, configure New Architecture in app.json, and create a development build.
