| Slug | If you are planning on publishing your application on Expo, the slug refers to the application's URL ending. Since this will be used in a URL, make sure to separate words with '-' instead of spaces. An example: https://expo.io/@community/my-draftbit-app where the slug is my-draftbit-app. |
