React Native event taxonomy for Growth Engineer runs

A starter event taxonomy for React Native and Expo—activation, onboarding, paywalls, purchases, and retention.

Signals to agent context

Funnels, instrumentation, and evidence your coding agent can act on.

SDK docs cover onboarding, paywall, purchase, and React Native setup.
Release/debug separation in the workflow.

A practical event taxonomy for React Native and Expo apps that want agent-readable analytics for the Growth Engineer.

Who this is for

Start here if the problem below sounds familiar. You do not need every connector on day one—just enough signal for the Growth Engineer to propose work you can review.

  • Expo apps adding analytics for the first time
  • React Native teams cleaning up event names
  • Mobile products preparing Growth Engineer runs

How it works

The loop is the same across guides: connect evidence, let the agent read it, then ship a reviewed task with a verification metric.

  1. Define onboarding and activation screen/step events.
  2. Track paywall view, skip, purchase attempt, success, and subscription context.
  3. Track core value and retention feature usage.
  4. Validate in debug before using release data with agents.

What you get back

The output should be concrete enough to review without opening five dashboards.

  • SDK docs cover onboarding, paywall, purchase, and React Native setup.
  • Release/debug separation in the workflow.
  • Explicit events—no hidden capture.

Common questions

Quick answers before you connect product data to an agent.

How many events should a small app start with?

10–20 events covering activation, value, monetization, and retention.

Should event names mirror UI screens?

Use screens for journey steps; prefer product language when actions repeat across UI.

Why does the Growth Engineer need event taxonomy discipline?

Clear names help agents link evidence to behavior and code surfaces.
