Expo Build with EAS
Use this skill when building and deploying Expo applications using EAS (Expo Application Services) Build.
Key Concepts
EAS Build Configuration
// eas.json
{
"cli": {
"version": ">= 5.9.0"
},
"build": {
"development": {
"developmentClient": true,
"distribution": "internal",
"ios": {
"simulator": true
}
},
"preview": {
"distribution": "internal"
},
"production": {
"autoIncrement": true
}
},
"submit": {
"production": {}
}
}
Build Commands
# Development build
eas build --profile development --platform ios
eas build --profile development --platform android
# Preview build
eas build --profile preview --platform all
# Production build
eas build --profile production --platform all
# Local build
eas build --profile production --platform ios --local
Development Builds
{
"build": {
"development": {
"developmentClient": true,
"distribution": "internal",
"env": {
"NODE_ENV": "development"
}
}
}
}
Best Practices
Environment Variables
// eas.json
{
"build": {
"production": {
"env": {
"APP_ENV": "production",
"API_URL": "https://api.myapp.com"
}
},
"staging": {
"env": {
"APP_ENV": "staging",
"API_URL": "https://staging-api.myapp.com"
}
}
}
}
Secrets Management
# Set secrets
eas secret:create --scope project --name API_KEY --value your_api_key
eas secret:create --scope project --name GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON --value "$(cat google-services.json)" --type file
# List secrets
eas secret:list
# Use in eas.json
{
"build": {
"production": {
"env": {
"API_KEY": "$(EAS_SECRET_API_KEY)"
}
}
}
}
Version Management
// eas.json
{
"build": {
"production": {
"autoIncrement": true,
"ios": {
"buildNumber": "1"
},
"android": {
"versionCode": 1
}
}
}
}
Build Hooks
{
"build": {
"production": {
"prebuild": "npm run generate-assets",
"postbuild": "npm run cleanup"
}
}
}
Common Patterns
Multi-Environment Builds
// eas.json
{
"build": {
"development": {
"developmentClient": true,
"channel": "development",
"distribution": "internal"
},
"staging": {
"channel": "staging",
"distribution": "internal",
"ios": {
"bundleIdentifier": "com.myapp.staging"
},
"android": {
"package": "com.myapp.staging"
}
},
"production": {
"channel": "production",
"autoIncrement": true
}
}
}
Custom Native Code
{
"build": {
"production": {
"ios": {
"buildConfiguration": "Release"
},
"android": {
"gradleCommand": ":app:bundleRelease"
}
}
}
}
App Store Submission
# iOS
eas submit --platform ios
# Android
eas submit --platform android
# Configure submission
# eas.json
{
"submit": {
"production": {
"ios": {
"appleId": "your.apple.id@example.com",
"ascAppId": "1234567890",
"appleTeamId": "AB12CD34EF"
},
"android": {
"serviceAccountKeyPath": "./service-account.json",
"track": "production"
}
}
}
}
Build Monitoring
# View build status
eas build:list
# View specific build
eas build:view [build-id]
# Cancel build
eas build:cancel [build-id]
Anti-Patterns
Don't Commit Secrets
// Bad - Secrets in eas.json
{
"build": {
"production": {
"env": {
"API_KEY": "sk_live_1234567890"
}
}
}
}
// Good - Use EAS Secrets
eas secret:create --scope project --name API_KEY --value sk_live_1234567890
Don't Skip Version Increments
// Bad - Manual version management
{
"build": {
"production": {
"autoIncrement": false
}
}
}
// Good - Auto increment
{
"build": {
"production": {
"autoIncrement": true
}
}
}
