What

Adds Starship to Development Tools → Builds, Deployment & OTA Updates.

Why

Starship brings the Expo Go experience to bare React Native CLI projects (custom native modules):

  • One command (npx react-native-starship) builds the APK with your local IP embedded and shows a QR code — scan, install, and the app auto-connects to Metro. No USB, no manual "Debug server host" setup.
  • iOS simulator + iOS physical device support (--ios-device — USB once, WiFi forever)
  • Multi-device deploy, build caching (skip rebuild if native code unchanged), Gradle/xcodebuild speed optimizations
  • npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-starship

This fills the "wireless dev for bare RN" gap in the list — currently that space is only covered by Expo-based tools.
