Overview

Expo Deployment

An Expo deployment skill for production build configuration, app store submission, and staged over-the-air update rollout. Use it when deploying an Expo app to production or rolling out OTA updates, following its pre-deployment checklist.

What it does

Expo Deployment guides deploying Expo apps to production, covering build configuration, app store submission, OTA (over-the-air) updates, release-channel management, and production optimization. The pre-deployment workflow checks tests pass, updates version numbers, configures production environment variables, reviews bundle size, and tests production builds locally before app-store submission (building production binaries, configuring store metadata, submitting to App Store Connect or Google Play Console, and handling the review process) or an OTA update rollout (configuring update channels, publishing updates, managing rollout strategy, monitoring adoption, and rolling back if needed).

When to use - and when NOT to

Use this skill when deploying Expo apps to production, publishing to the iOS App Store or Google Play, setting up OTA updates, configuring production build settings, or managing release channels and versions. Best practices it calls out: use EAS Build for reliable production builds, test production builds before submission, implement error tracking and analytics, use release channels for staged rollouts, and monitor app performance in production.

Inputs and outputs

Input is an Expo app ready for release plus its target platforms (iOS, Android) and update strategy; output is a production build submitted to the relevant app store, or an OTA update published to a specific release channel with a defined rollout and rollback plan.

Who it's for

Expo developers shipping production releases or OTA updates who want a consistent pre-deployment checklist, app-store submission workflow, and staged-rollout release-channel strategy rather than deploying ad hoc.
