This skill covers deploying Expo applications across all platforms using EAS (Expo Application Services).
Consult these resources as needed:
npm install -g eas-cli
eas login
npx eas-cli@latest init
This creates eas.json with build profiles.
# iOS App Store build
npx eas-cli@latest build -p ios --profile production
# Android Play Store build
npx eas-cli@latest build -p android --profile production
# Both platforms
npx eas-cli@latest build --profile production
# iOS: Build and submit to App Store Connect
npx eas-cli@latest build -p ios --profile production --submit
# Android: Build and submit to Play Store
npx eas-cli@latest build -p android --profile production --submit
# Shortcut for iOS TestFlight
npx testflight
Deploy web apps using EAS Hosting:
# Deploy to production
npx expo export -p web
npx eas-cli@latest deploy --prod
# Deploy PR preview
npx eas-cli@latest deploy
Standard eas.json for production deployments:
{
"cli": {
"version": ">= 16.0.1",
"appVersionSource": "remote"
},
"build": {
"production": {
"autoIncrement": true,
"ios": {
"resourceClass": "m-medium"
}
},
"development": {
"developmentClient": true,
"distribution": "internal"
}
},
"submit": {
"production": {
"ios": {
"appleId": "your@email.com",
"ascAppId": "1234567890"
},
"android": {
"serviceAccountKeyPath": "./google-service-account.json",
"track": "internal"
}
}
}
}
npx testflight for quick TestFlight submissionseas credentialsUse EAS Workflows for CI/CD:
# .eas/workflows/release.yml
name: Release
on:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
build-ios:
type: build
params:
platform: ios
profile: production
submit-ios:
type: submit
needs: [build-ios]
params:
platform: ios
profile: production
See ./reference/workflows.md for more workflow examples.
EAS manages version numbers automatically with appVersionSource: "remote":
# Check current versions
eas build:version:get
# Manually set version
eas build:version:set -p ios --build-number 42
# List recent builds
eas build:list
# Check build status
eas build:view
# View submission status
eas submit:list
Use when you need to run Flow type checking, or when seeing Flow type errors in React code.
Use when you want to validate changes before committing, or when you need to check all React contribution requirements.
Use when feature flag tests fail, flags need updating, understanding @gate pragmas, debugging channel-specific test failures, or adding new flags to React.
Use when you need to check feature flag states, compare channels, or debug why a feature behaves differently across release channels.
