Quick Start

Install EAS CLI

npm install -g eas-cli
eas login

Initialize EAS

npx eas-cli@latest init

This creates eas.json with build profiles.

Build Commands

Production Builds

# 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

Submit to Stores

# 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

Web Deployment

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

EAS Configuration

Standard eas.json for production deployments:

{
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 16.0.1",
    "appVersionSource": "remote"
  },
  "build": {
    "production": {
      "autoIncrement": true,
      "ios": {
        "resourceClass": "m-medium"
      }
    },
    "development"

Platform-Specific Guides

iOS

Use npx testflight for quick TestFlight submissions
Configure Apple credentials via eas credentials
See ./reference/testflight.md for credential setup
See ./reference/ios-app-store.md for App Store submission

Android

Set up Google Play Console service account
Configure tracks: internal → closed → open → production
See ./reference/play-store.md for detailed setup

Web

EAS Hosting provides preview URLs for PRs
Production deploys to your custom domain
See ./reference/workflows.md for CI/CD automation

Automated Deployments

Use 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:

See ./reference/workflows.md for more workflow examples.

Version Management

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

Monitoring

# List recent builds
eas build:list
 
# Check build status
eas build:view
 
# View submission status
eas submit:list
