React Native & Expo

React Native applications compile to native Android and iOS folders. If you're using Expo, you can build locally using Expo Application Services (EAS) or prebuild to native directories.

Typical Build PathsCopy Anchor Link

Depending on how your compilation is configured, your compiled binaries will typically reside in:

• Android APK: ./android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
• Android AAB: ./android/app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab
• iOS IPA: ./ios/build/Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/MyApp.ipa (or customized Xcode export path)

Automation ScriptsCopy Anchor Link

Add these scripts to your package.json to compile and distribute in a single command:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build:android": "cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease",
    "distribute:android": "npm run build:android && buildshare upload ./android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk --notes 'React Native Android release'",
    "distribute:ios": "buildshare upload ./ios/build/MyApp.ipa --notes 'React Native iOS release'"
  }
}

Now you can distribute updates with simple npm scripts:

npm run distribute:android
