Why it matters
Developers using coding agents to build mobile apps may be able to have those agents check their own changes on a simulator before code is shipped. Reviewers may get screenshots and video as evidence in pull requests, and people on any operating system can open the simulators in a browser. The source does not give details on availability or pricing, so those points are worth checking directly with Expo.
