## Description

Build and submit iOS and Android apps with EAS to TestFlight, the App Store, or Google Play. Supports Expo and other React Native projects, plus existing native apps. Use for eas.json setup, release pipelines, signing, app versions and build numbers, store submissions, and listing metadata. For Expo websites and API routes, use eas-hosting; for adding React Native screens to a native app, use expo-brownfield.

# App Store Deployment

> **EAS service - costs apply.** Cloud builds use EAS plan resources, and EAS services have free-tier and paid-plan limits. Apple Developer and Google Play memberships are separate. Check https://expo.dev/pricing for the requested service.

This skill covers building and releasing iOS and Android apps with EAS: Expo and other React Native projects, plus existing native apps. EAS is a delivery service; native apps can use it without adding Expo or React Native to their runtime. The native setup walkthrough currently covers SwiftUI/UIKit on iOS.

## Choose the project path

- **SwiftUI/UIKit app with no React Native runtime:** read [references/native-ios.md](references/native-ios.md) before changing its build configuration. Keep the Xcode project and Swift code as the app's source of truth. The Expo/React Native quick-start and development-client examples below do not apply to this path.
- **Native Android app with no React Native runtime:** preserve its existing native build setup. See [references/play-store.md](references/play-store.md) for submission; the Swift/iOS setup instructions do not apply. A dedicated native Android setup walkthrough is not yet included.
- **Expo/React Native app:** use the quick-start below, then the relevant store reference.
- **Adding React Native screens to an existing native app:** use `expo-brownfield` for that integration; return here for distribution.

Use the archive and icon checks in [references/native-ios.md](references/native-ios.md) during initial native iOS setup, after changing versioning, bundle IDs, or icons, or when diagnosing a rejected upload. Routine releases follow the EAS build/submit flow and the processing and availability checks in [references/testflight.md](references/testflight.md). A successful EAS build or a queued submission does not establish Apple acceptance, tester access, or an App Store release.
