Deploy Expo apps to production with EAS — build and submit to the iOS App Store, Google Play Store, and TestFlight, configure eas.json build and submit profiles, manage app versions and build numbers, publish App Store metadata and ASO, and deploy web bundles and API routes via EAS Hosting. Use whenever the user is preparing a production build, running eas build or eas submit, shipping to TestFlight, releasing or rolling out to the app stores, bumping version or build numbers, or setting up store listing metadata for an Expo app.
This skill covers deploying Expo applications across all platforms using EAS (Expo Application Services).
Consult these resources as needed:
This creates eas.json with build profiles.
Deploy web apps using EAS Hosting:
Expo Router API routes deploy together with the web bundle on EAS Hosting — eas deploy ships both. To author or configure the API routes themselves, use the expo-api-routes skill.
Standard eas.json for production deployments:
npx testflight for quick TestFlight submissionseas credentialsEAS Workflows automate the build → submit → update → deploy pipeline for CI/CD. See ./references/workflows.md for deployment-oriented examples. To author or validate workflow YAML, use the expo-cicd-workflows skill — it works from the live workflow schema.
EAS manages version numbers automatically with appVersionSource: "remote":
# 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# Deploy to production
npx expo export -p web
npx eas-cli@latest deploy --prod
# Deploy PR preview
