Learn how to use the sitemap to debug your app with Expo Router.

On native, you can use the uri-scheme
CLI to test opening native links on a device.
For example, if you want to launch the Expo Go app on iOS to the /form-sheet route, run:
Terminal
Copy
- npx uri-scheme open exp://192.168.87.39:19000/--/form-sheet --ios
Replace
192.168.87.39:19000with the IP address shown when runningnpx expo start.
You can also search for links directly in a browser like Safari or Chrome to test deep linking on physical devices. Learn more about testing deep links .

Expo Router currently injects a /_sitemap automatically that provides a list of all routes in the app. This is useful for debugging.
The sitemap can be removed by adding sitemap: false to the expo-router config plugin in the app config:
app.json
Copy
{ "plugins": [ [ "expo-router", { "sitemap": false } ] ] }
