Building a Real Camera App With Warp + CodeRabbit + Expo MCP
Beto, October 21, 2025 · 4,095 views
Here's my current AI workflow for building a real camera app: Warp generates the code from prompts, Expo MCP feeds it the latest SDK docs so it never guesses at APIs, and CodeRabbit reviews every change before I commit. The speed of prompting without the usual quality dropoff.
If you're curious what agentic development looks like on an actual Expo project, I show the whole flow in the video.
What's inside
- Scaffold an Expo Router app with tabs and dark mode from a prompt
- Connect Expo MCP so your agent reads current SDK docs
- Tell Warp to "learn expo camera" then install and configure it
- Get the exact camera permissions added to your app config
- Let CodeRabbit catch issues and suggest fixes after every change
- Warp shortcuts and file explorer tricks I use daily
