Settings → Integrations gets an EAS Simulator row next to SSH device hosts. An EAS host belongs to one environment, because that environment's server holds the Expo credential and starts the sessions.

The editor sets:

  • the host's name;
  • an optional Expo access token (a secret setting; without one the server uses EXPO_TOKEN, then its eas login);
  • the EAS project sessions run under, or "From the thread's project";
  • the session bounds.

Account check. The editor checks the Expo account as it opens and again on Check account, through a new device.easAccount RPC (settings-write scope). It reports who the credential signs in as and where the credential came from, and lists the projects it can use for the picker, so a saved project shows by name and a rejected token shows before anything changes. Only the latest check's answer is shown; a cleared token is checked as empty, so the check does not fall back to the stored token Save is about to drop. A failed check is a DeviceEasAccountError (no cause, since it reaches the browser) whose reason is the credential errors' own guidance or a category for what Expo answered (a rejected credential by status, a refusal, no answer), never Expo's text; not a host error. Editing a saved host says that saving restarts it, which stops its running sessions, and the section says the same of removing one. When a draft cannot be saved (an idle limit not smaller than the session limit, a cleared field), the editor says why.

Device state says supportsEasHosts, and Settings shows the EAS section only for servers that set it: a server from before EAS hosts ignores easDeviceHosts, so a save there would vanish.

Device setup names an EAS host instead of reporting Xcode when only the cloud can run iOS.

Part of built-in EAS Simulator support (stack #21847). Layer 6 of 6. The Mac handoff note for the whole stack is in the comments below.

Testing:

  • Settings logic: adding, editing and removing an EAS host, limit validation, and the summary line.
  • Device setup: a test covers the EAS wording.
  • In the app, against a real Expo account: adding a host, the check on open, the project picker, a stored token shown redacted and cleared, a rejected token's message, and the labelled token field.
  • Web, client-runtime, server and contracts typechecks pass.

Done with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, running in T3 Code.

Screenshots

Dev build at the stack top, Settings → Integrations, 1280×800. Before this stack the Integrations page had no EAS section at all (the server did not know EAS hosts), so there is no "before" state to show beyond its absence.

EAS Simulator section with one host configured (limits in one line; the note that editing or removing stops running sessions):

EAS Simulator section in Settings → Integrations with one host, its limits, and Edit/Remove

Editor for a saved host: the account check ran on open (signed in through the server's eas login), the saved project shows by name, limits, and the restart note:

Edit EAS host dialog showing the account check result, project picker, and session limits

Invalid limits: idle minutes set equal to session minutes disables Save and says why:

Handoff: verifying the EAS Simulator stack on a Mac

This comment covers the whole stack (#21835 → #21841 → #21842 → #21843 → #21844 → #21846). It was built and tested on Linux, where no iOS Simulator can run, so what needs a Mac and a real browser is listed here.

Already verified (Linux)

  • Typechecks: server, web, client-runtime, contracts and mobile pass.
  • Tests: after rebasing onto 729924a, the touched suites pass: 182 server device/MCP/settings, 146 client-runtime device, 4 contracts and 17 web.
  • Live check against Expo, one real session through EasDeviceHost (feat(server): EAS Simulator device hosts #21844):
    • ready in 51 s;
    • /api routed with the session token reports transport: webrtc;
    • AVCC answers 409 stream_transport_locked;
    • the WebRTC offer route answers;
    • the input socket admits input (0x83);
    • a 2.9 MB PNG screenshot came back;
    • the agent daemon's /health answered 200;
    • the session was stopped when the host closed.
  • Not watched yet: the WebRTC video itself, anything in a real browser, and the settings UI.

Setup

gh stack checkout 21846        # or: git fetch origin device/eas-settings && check it out in a worktree
vp i
vp run migrate-dev-db          # optional: real data in the worktree's .t3
vp run dev                     # read the real ports from the [dev-runner] line

Expo credential on the Mac, one of:

  • eas login (or npx expo login);
  • EXPO_TOKEN in the dev server's environment;
  • a token pasted into the EAS host in Settings.

The account must have EAS Simulator enabled; pingdotgg does.

1. Local simulators still work (#21835, #21841)

  • Device panel → open a local iOS Simulator. The video streams over AVCC as before, touch and keyboard work, and rotate, Home, screenshot and shutdown all work.
  • Same with an Android emulator if you have one.
  • iOS in a browser without WebCodecs, or the mobile app: still falls back to MJPEG.

Expect no changes from main here; the WebRTC path only starts when serve-sim refuses AVCC with a 409.

2. Add an EAS host (#21842, #21843, #21846)

  • Settings → Integrations → EAS Simulator → Add EAS host.
  • Check account shows "Signed in as … with the server's eas login" (or EXPO_TOKEN, or the saved token), and the project picker lists the account's apps.
  • Choose @pingdotgg/t3-code, or keep "From the thread's project". Set 1 session at once, 10 session minutes and 5 idle minutes. Save.
  • Reload Settings: the token shows as stored, never in plain text, and Check account still works with the saved token.
  • Screenshot the row and the editor for the PR.

3. Open an EAS device (#21844, with the WebRTC path from #21841)

  • The Device panel lists iPhone (EAS Simulator). Opening it shows booting for about a minute, then the simulator appears with live video.
  • chrome://webrtc-internals shows an inbound H.264 video track. Touch input, rotate and Home work. The screenshot button returns an image.
  • Try Safari. The video element is hidden but in the DOM, because Safari may not deliver requestVideoFrameCallback frames for detached video.
  • Try the mobile app. Its WebView starts on MJPEG, gets refused, and should switch the canvas back on (onCanvasVideo).
  • Opening a second device with the limit at 1 is refused with "… is limited to 1 running session".
  • Shut the device down. On expo.dev → pingdotgg → t3-code → simulator sessions, the session (named T3 Code · <label> · <id>) is stopped.
  • Record a short video of the stream for the PR.

4. Agent access (#21844)

  • With device agent access on, ask an agent in a thread: "open the EAS iPhone, open Settings and take a screenshot, then close it". device_open's quick start mentions EAS and billing, agent-device works through the returned --config/--session, and device_close with shutdown: true stops the session.
  • A thread whose project has an Expo app config, with the host left on "From the thread's project", runs the session under that project.

5. Cost guards (#21844)

  • Open an EAS device, kill the dev server by the PID you started it with, and start it again. When the device hub comes up, the leftover session is stopped (check expo.dev).
  • Let a session idle past its idle minutes. It drops out of the device list on the next refresh, and a new one can start.
  • Turn device support off while a session runs. The session stops.

Known gaps and decisions for review

  • iOS only. Android on EAS reports unsupported. Device settings (appearance, permissions and so on) are unavailable on EAS devices because they run simctl on the simulator's machine. There is no egress tunnel yet, so a simulator cannot reach Metro on this machine; agents install builds with agent-device install-from-source <url> instead.
  • Closing a panel without shutting down keeps the session running until its idle limit, 10 minutes by default.
  • Expo API: the GraphQL operations are the hidden ones eas-cli's simulator:* commands use. They are decoded by hand because Expo publishes no schema for them.
  • Slower failure for local MJPEG viewers: in browsers that have WebRTC, a failing MJPEG image now probes /api (up to 5 s) before reporting the error.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This XL PR introduces EAS Simulator host configuration, Expo credential handling, a new authorized RPC, and billable cloud-session behavior across the web, server, and contracts layers. The new auth and sensitive-token paths, product defaults, and lifecycle side effects require human review.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds an EAS account lookup RPC, EAS device-host settings, EAS host capability reporting, and EAS Simulator guidance for ready EAS hosts.

Changes: EAS device host support

Layer / File(s) Summary
EAS account lookup and RPC wiring
packages/contracts/src/device.ts, packages/contracts/src/rpc.ts, packages/client-runtime/src/state/device.ts, apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/auth/RpcAuthorization.ts, apps/server/src/observability/RpcInstrumentation.ts
The contracts define EAS account inputs, results, errors, and the supportsEasHosts capability. The client adds the RPC command. The server resolves credentials, queries Expo account details, maps failures to DeviceEasAccountError, and exposes the authorized WebSocket RPC.
EAS host settings and editing
apps/web/src/components/settings/easDeviceHostsSettings.logic.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/easDeviceHostsSettings.logic.test.ts, apps/web/src/components/settings/EasDeviceHostsSettings.tsx, apps/web/src/components/settings/IntegrationsSettings.tsx
Settings can add, edit, remove, and save EAS hosts. The editor checks credentials, rejects invalid labels and session limits, displays Expo projects, and disables controls based on authorization, scope, environment, and operation state.
EAS Simulator setup guidance
apps/web/src/components/device/DeviceSetup.tsx, apps/web/src/components/device/DeviceSetup.test.ts
Ready iOS setup status identifies EAS Simulator for an EAS host. A test covers this status when local tooling is unavailable.

Editing an EAS host's token field and then emptying it quietly removes the saved Expo token when the host is saved. Saving also restarts the host, so the server may then sign in with a different account. Ordinary edits keep the stored token. This is a small, easy fix to make before or soon after merge.

to map each failure to a bounded reason: use a fixed settings-read message for
ServerSettingsError, preserve fixed messages for ExpoNotSignedInError and
ExpoInvalidCredentialError, and select a fixed ExpoApiError message based on
rejected. Do not forward ExpoApiError.message; replace the current generic
Effect.mapError mapping with tag-specific handling.
- Around line 1105-1110: Preserve the cleared-token state in requestCheck by
sending accessToken as an explicit empty string for token.kind "cleared", while
retaining the existing saved and new-token behavior. In
DeviceService.easAccount, change the credential fallback from truthy fallback to
nullish fallback so an explicit empty token is not replaced by the saved host
token.

Settings → Integrations gets an EAS Simulator row next to SSH device hosts.
An EAS host belongs to one environment, since that environment's server
holds the Expo credential and starts the sessions.

The editor sets the host's name, an optional Expo access token (a secret
setting; without one the server uses EXPO_TOKEN, then its eas login), the
EAS project sessions run under (or the thread's project), and the session
bounds. "Check account" calls a new device.easAccount RPC (settings write
scope) that reports who the credential signs in as and where it came from,
and lists the projects it can use.

Device setup names an EAS host instead of reporting Xcode when only the
cloud can run iOS.

The token input sat beside a plain span, so screen readers announced it
without a name.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The editor showed a saved project as its raw id, and a rejected token,
only after Check account was pressed. It now checks on open. The check
fails with its own `DeviceEasAccountError` instead of a host error with
a made-up host id.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…host

The check on open and a check after a token edit could answer out of
order, leaving the dialog showing the account for a credential it no
longer held. Only the latest check's answer is shown now. Editing a
saved host also says that saving stops its running sessions.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… an effect

Setting state synchronously in the open effect made React render twice;
the editor now starts in the checking state and the effect only sends
the request.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A server from before EAS hosts ignores `easDeviceHosts`, so saving one
there reported success and the host vanished. Device state now says
`supportsEasHosts`, and Settings shows the EAS section only when it is
set. `DeviceEasAccountError` drops its cause: it reaches the browser and
its reason already says what Expo answered.

The host config refuses the combination now; the editor explains why.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…stops its sessions

Save was off with no reason when the idle limit was not smaller than
the session limit or a field was cleared, and Remove stopped a host's
running sessions without saying so anywhere outside the editor.

…nutes are empty

Review (Macroscope): effect modules are imported as namespaces from their subpaths.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…eck tells the browser

A cleared token was omitted from the account check, so the check fell
back to the saved token that Save was about to drop and showed its
account. It is sent as empty now, and the server no longer treats empty
as absent. The check's failure reason is the credential errors' own
guidance or a category for what Expo answered (a rejected credential by
status, a refusal, or no answer), never Expo's text (review, CodeRabbit).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Only the Clear button drops a saved token; typing and deleting again does not (review, CodeRabbit).
