Use this skill when you need deploy Expo apps to production with EAS — build and submit to the iOS App Store, Google Play Store, and TestFlight, configure eas.json build and submit profiles, manage app versions and build numbers, publish App Store metadata and ASO, and deploy web bundles and API routes via EAS...
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
Expo Router API routes deploy together with the web bundle on EAS Hosting — eas deploy ships both. To author or configure the API routes themselves, use the expo-api-routes skill.
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": "[email protected]",
"ascAppId": "1234567890"
},
"android": {
"serviceAccountKeyPath": "./google-service-account.json",
"track": "internal"
}
}
}
}
npx testflight for quick TestFlight submissionseas credentialsEAS Workflows automate the build → submit → update → deploy pipeline for CI/CD. See ./references/workflows.md for deployment-oriented examples. To author or validate workflow YAML, use the expo-cicd-workflows skill — it works from the live workflow schema.
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
