Summary

I use this locally to clear the media cache when I'm testing encrypted multimedia.
This is related to ENG-2745 - I just found another use case for the custom menu buttons.

This should be run as a side effect in global scope. Subsequent calls override the previous one.

Docs on this feature: https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/development-workflows/#extending-the-dev-menu

Test Plan

Run the app and open dev menu (shake / press the m key while in metro console). The button should appear.

When clicked, the button should clear the media cache and show a toast.

This isn't mentioned in the link above – wondering, how does alert work in Expo / React Native? Is this an alias for react-native's Alert component, or is it something specific to expo-dev-menu / registerDevMenuItems? (I figure the latter since you mentioned a "toast")

This display system native message box. The same kind of alert pops up massively when logging in/out saying that redux/database was cleared/hydrated etc.
Importing Alert from react-native seems to be optional.

Explicitly imported Alert from react-native to avoid further confusion.
