Put the flags in the nested Metro URL.
Appending these values to <printed-dev-client-url> adds them to the dev-client deep link. It does not add them to the manifest URL carried by its encoded url parameter. The dev client will not receive the suppression flags through the path used by scripts/mobile-showcase.ts.
Update the instruction to decode the url parameter, append disableOnboarding=1, disableAutoLaunch=1, and disableFab=1 to that Metro URL, then encode it again.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes the mobile screenshot/test harness by moving dev-menu suppression from local preferences into launch URLs. Unresolved functional comments indicate that some flags may be placed in the wrong URL layer, potentially leaving dev chrome visible or allowing the dev menu to open during captures.

🌐 Web query:
official Expo dev launcher deep link disableFab disableAutoLaunch disableOnboarding URL parameters SDK 58
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In Expo SDK 58, you can control the behavior of the development launcher using URL query parameters when launching a development build, particularly for automation or end-to-end testing scenarios [1][2]. The following URL parameters can be added to the development client deep link to modify its behavior [2]: - disableOnboarding=1: Skips the onboarding screen that appears on the first launch of a development build [2]. - disableFab=1: Hides the floating Tools button (which is used to open the dev menu) [2]. - disableAutoLaunch=1: Prevents the dev menu from automatically opening when the app starts [2]. These parameters should be added to the development-client deep link itself, alongside any url parameter you may be providing [2]. For example, when launching via automation, you might construct a URL that includes these parameters to ensure the environment is configured correctly without user intervention [2]. Note that disableFab and disableAutoLaunch update the saved dev menu settings on the device, allowing these configurations to persist until manually changed in the dev menu [2]. Additionally, if you are using config plugins (Continuous Native Generation) in your project, you can configure these settings at build time in your app.json (or app.config.js) using the expo-dev-client plugin [3][4]: { "plugins": [ [ "expo-dev-client", { "skipOnboarding": true, "showMenuAtLaunch": false } ] ] } - skipOnboarding: Maps to the build-time equivalent of disabling the onboarding popup [5][4]. - showMenuAtLaunch: Can be set to false to suppress the automatic opening of the dev menu [5][4].

The Android package is com.t3tools.t3code; Metro is exposed through adb reverse. [2]
Put the dev-menu flags on the development-client deep link. metroUrl currently appends disableFab=1 and disableAutoLaunch=1 to the nested Metro URL. Expo SDK 58 reads these flags from the outer development-client deep link, next to its encoded url parameter. The current placement leaves the floating Tools button visible and allows the dev menu to open automatically. Keep disableOnboarding=1 in the encoded Metro URL, and move the other two parameters to the outer deep link. The Android path builds a separate URL, so this specific construction does not affect Android.

expo-dev-launcher 58 reads disableFab=1 and disableAutoLaunch=1 off the manifest URL and updates the dev menu preferences before the app loads. The showcase screenshot harness used to write those preferences straight into the app container on both platforms; it now puts the flags on the launch URL instead, keeping only the gesture toggles that have no URL form. The mobile test skill mentions the flags for the same purpose. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
