Expo for iOS + Android with Expo

Build infra + OTA updates in the iOS + Android with Expo stack. Expo Router for navigation, EAS Build for managed native compiling, EAS Update for shipping JS fixes without store review, EAS Submit for one-command store uploads. The infra you'd otherwise rebuild every project.

Where Expo fits in the workflow
  1. 3
    Iterate with Expo Go on a real device

    Expo Go on your phone for the inner loop. EAS Build only when you need a real native build (signing, native modules, store submission).

  2. 4
    EAS Build for store builds

    `eas build --profile production --platform all` builds both iOS and Android binaries in the cloud. ~15 min the first time, faster after caching.

  3. 5
    EAS Submit + EAS Update

    `eas submit` uploads to TestFlight + Play Console in one command. `eas update` ships JS fixes after launch without re-submitting (within Apple's policy boundary).
