This guide covers the full workflow: project setup using Vega CLI templates, manifest.toml configuration, Metro and Babel configuration for cross-platform monorepo integration, handling library incompatibilities (expo-image, expo-media-library, expo-router) using a custom .kpl file extension strategy, and building/deploying .vpkg binaries to Vega devices or simulators. The post uses a multiplatform Photos Gallery app as a practical example, showing how to extend an existing Android/iOS/TV/web app to also support Vega with minimal code changes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
