Create your TestFlight-ready build in one command

Hi there,

Ready to test your app in the real world? You'll need to understand the different build types in the Expo ecosystem.

Here's the difference:

Expo Go = A pre-built sandbox app from the App Store/Play Store. Great for quick prototyping, but limited to libraries included in the Expo SDK - no custom native code.

Development builds = Custom debug builds created with eas build --profile development. Like your own personalized version of Expo Go - supports any native module, runs on real devices and simulators with dev tools enabled.

Internal distribution builds = Builds meant for sharing with your team via ad hoc distribution (iOS) or direct APK install (Android). No App Store or TestFlight needed - great for QA and stakeholder review.

Production builds = Fully optimized, release-ready builds for submitting to TestFlight (iOS), Play Store internal/closed testing (Android), and ultimately public release.

Create your store build using EAS Build (https://d2BN2k04.na1.hubspotlinks.com/Ctc/L0+113/d2BN2k04/VVDHdK1ldjRsW37b6SP1HvR53VNrtzX5WCfM2N4lQrL03lcq-W7Y8-PT6lZ3pCW8g4XYp4ttz6kVdzckP4M0TWNW7Kvbdh7ZfV_RW4gy1_W4vgF4qW91PBGc6mZqm1W7vXZGY40x3GzN2GJGC2hR8hJN2T5X83tSbR9MSDf_cyGds9W7cScHc7Pcg5xW2Zspdl7Z5DplW3XSsY-3f-qQVW6_HLm890GgzwW1zvbYs5Myy0PW4rpF3413NtC8N1hdT1pcMX--W9c4dXB640spLW6y-qDD3PwqxMW6tHKXQ5lFQsjW2yrRkL2ZLF9KN6-rpnVg80z9VZmtZC1RZWW5W4dL44k5s0GdCN2cbT-HCrtPTW650-9D3zSVw3W20Yc_36Y3lvWf86_DqC04 ) with:

Javascript

npm install -g eas-cli

eas login

eas build --platform all --profile production

This single command builds for both platforms. 10-15 minutes and you're ready to test.

Next step: Submit to TestFlight (iOS) and internal testing via Google Play Console (Android). Find bugs before your users do!
