End-to-end tests

E2E tests are set up with Maestro.

• Test flows: e2e/maestro
• Setup and usage: e2e/README.md

Quick run commands:

# Android
yarn e2e:maestro:android

# iOS
# No dedicated `yarn e2e:maestro:ios` script is available.
# Follow the instructions in e2e/README.md to run iOS Maestro tests.

Note: Android E2E uses a native app build (not Expo Go). iOS E2E runs only on macOS.

Google Maps API keys

The app reads Google Maps API keys from environment variables in app.config.ts:

• GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_ANDROID for Android
• GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_IOS for iOS

Set them before running Expo commands, for example:

export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_ANDROID="your_android_google_maps_api_key"
export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_IOS="your_ios_google_maps_api_key"
yarn start

For EAS builds, set these variables as EAS secrets or environment variables for the build profile. Alternatively, you can configure the API keys directly in app.json under android.config.googleMaps.apiKey and ios.config.googleMapsApiKey.
