Onboarding component for Expo
Build a onboarding screen in Expo, the right way: what it needs, how Expo handles it, and a prompt that starts from a real design so the first result already looks shipped.
What a onboarding includes
A onboarding is the first-run flow that explains the app and gets the user set up. The parts that matter:
- a short sequence of value slides
- a progress indicator
- a permission request (notifications, etc.)
- a clear primary continue button
- a skip option
Building it in Expo
In Expo, you React Native with batteries included: routing, builds, and OTA updates handled for you. The fastest way to a runnable cross-platform app. The fastest path is not to hand-place every element from scratch, but to give the builder a real onboarding design to match. A vague prompt produces a generic screen; a concrete reference produces one you would ship.
That is what VP0 is for: a free library of iOS app designs built for AI builders, where every design has a machine-readable source page your tool can read from a pasted link. Pair it with Expo and the first generation matches a proven layout.
Prompt to build it
Paste this into your AI builder, with a VP0 onboarding design link in place of the placeholder:
