This info page: https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/wsl.md only describes how to set up for Expo Go / expo start.

The link form the main documentation however specifies that if we want to test using dev-build or expo go:

WSL 2 typically requires additional configuration to set up your development environment for testing code on a device using a [development build](https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/introduction) or Expo Go. 
Learn more about [configuring WSL 2 for Expo development](https://expo.fyi/wsl).

dev-builds in WSL are terrible and almost impossible to even set up and I have lost days on this.

Edit
If anyone is interested in a guide to set up WSL to build dev-builds in but execute them on virtual devices on the windows side in a reproducible fashion, check out this article i wrote after spending many days working this issue: guide
