# clip.qa for React Native Apps — Bug Reports Without Native Modules

## Introduction

clip.qa records bugs in any React Native app — iOS or Android — with no native module, no Xcode scheme changes, and no Android manifest edits. The app under test needs zero changes. Just record and get a structured AI report.

Your users find UI bugs before your tests do. clip.qa closes that gap in 30 seconds.

## The Problem: Native SDKs and React Native Don't Mix Cleanly

SDK-based bug reporters require bridging native modules into your React Native app. That means Xcode changes, Android manifest edits, and a fresh build — just to catch visual bugs your users are already hitting.

| | SDK-based (Instabug, etc.) | clip.qa |
|---|---|---|
| Native module required | Yes — Xcode + Gradle changes | No — zero app changes |
| Works on Expo managed | Requires ejecting or config plugin | Yes — no app changes needed |
| Captures UI/UX bugs | Crash-focused, misses visual bugs | Screen recording catches everything |
| LLM-ready output | No | Yes — paste into Cursor or Claude Code |
| Setup time | Hours | 0 minutes |

## How It Works

### 1. Install clip.qa on your test device
Install clip.qa on the iOS or Android device where you run your React Native app. No changes to your RN project, package.json, or native build files.

### 2. Record the bug in your RN app
Open clip.qa, start a recording, and navigate to the bug in your React Native app. clip.qa captures device model, OS version, and timestamps.

### 3. AI report — paste into your coding tool
clip.qa generates a structured bug report. Copy it and paste into Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot. The AI reads steps to reproduce, device context, and expected vs actual behavior — and writes the fix.

## FAQ

**Q: Does clip.qa capture React Native JavaScript errors?**
A: clip.qa captures visual behavior via screen recording. For JavaScript runtime errors and crash logs, pair clip.qa with your existing error monitoring (Sentry, Bugsnag, etc.). Together they give you the full picture.

**Q: Does it work with Expo?**
A: Yes — this is where clip.qa shines. Expo managed workflow can't include arbitrary native SDKs without ejecting. clip.qa requires zero changes to your Expo app — it records from the OS level entirely outside the Expo ecosystem.

**Q: Will it work on my CI/CD preview builds?**
A: Yes. clip.qa records any app installed on the device — including preview builds distributed via TestFlight, Firebase App Distribution, or EAS Build.

**Q: Does it record both iOS and Android?**
A: Yes. clip.qa is available on both iOS (TestFlight) and Android (beta), giving you platform-specific device context in every report.
