Create a new account by entering your email address, username, and password. After completing the signup, verify your email address and log in to your Expo account.  After logging in, you will be redirected to your Expo dashboard. 

Next, create an access token. From your Expo dashboard, navigate to Account Settings and open the Access Tokens section. Click on Add Robots > choose developer > select a name for the robot (Eg. storehippoRobot)
