Environment Setup

Solana Mobile devices run Android OS, and the Solana dApp Store accepts only Android apps (APKs).

To develop for Solana Mobile, you'll need an Android development environment.

Expo

Expo is the officially recommended framework to build React Native apps.

For Solana Mobile development, we recommend this Expo setup:

  • Android (required)
  • Development Build (required for Mobile Wallet Adapter)
  • Build without EAS

View Expo documentation to setup your environment for Android development.

Next steps

With your development environment ready, you can now test your Solana Mobile app on any Android device or emulator - no Seeker required.
