Building and publishing
Ship to Google Play and the App Store with EAS.
📖 Key ideas
- EAS Build creates Android (AAB) and iOS (IPA) builds in the cloud.
- EAS Submit uploads to Play Console and App Store Connect.
- Configure app.json: name, icon, splash, bundle identifier, version.
- OTA updates with EAS Update fix JS bugs without a store release.
- Need a Google Play developer account and an Apple Developer Program membership.
💡 Real-life example: EAS is a courier service that packs your app and delivers it to both app stores.
