Possible to debug locally developed native lib without using bare workflow?

Hi all.

I’m trying to debug an issue in a RN component library I contribute to, that only appears to happen on Expo. I’ve got a local development copy of the library on my laptop, and am using yalc to “publish” to a local directory, and then adding to my expo project from there. The entry in package.json looks like this for reference:

"@react-native-community/slider": "file:.yalc/@react-native-community/slider",

What I’m not sure about is how and when edits to native code (Objective-C) are being deployed to the Expo client running on the iOS simulator. Observable behaviour suggests they aren’t. Log messages don’t appear in the console. The test case even runs with intentionally broken local Obj-C code, which makes me think the native code being run by the Expo client isn’t what I think it is.

Can anybody provide some advice on whether this is even possible? Would like to achieve it without having to switch to the bare workflow.

Thanks!
James
