React Native Deployment

Priority: P2 (MAINTENANCE)

Workflow: Ship a Production Release with EAS Build

  1. Configure eas.json with development, preview, and production profiles
  2. Set environment variables in .env.production
  3. Run eas build --platform all --profile production
  4. Verify the build artifact on the EAS dashboard
  5. Submit to stores: eas submit --platform ios / eas submit --platform android
  6. For JS-only hotfixes, publish OTA: eas update --branch production

Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates

CodePush (Microsoft)

  • JS-Only Updates: Update JS bundle without app store review.
  • Staging/Production: Use separate deployments.
  • Install: npm install react-native-code-push
  • Limitations: Cannot update native code (Obj-C, Java, Swift, Kotlin).

Expo Updates

  • Expo Projects: Built-in OTA updates via channels (dev, staging, prod).
  • Install: expo install expo-updates

Build Configurations

Expo (EAS Build)

See deployment reference for EAS build profile configuration and CLI commands.

React Native CLI

  • Android: Use productFlavors in build.gradle (dev, staging, prod).
  • iOS: Use Xcode schemes.
  • Fastlane: Automate builds and uploads (fastlane ios release).

Environment Management

  • react-native-config: .env files for API URLs, keys.
  • Separate Configs: .env.dev, .env.staging, .env.production.

Anti-Patterns

  • No OTA for Native Changes: Requires store release.
  • No Secrets in Code: Use .env & CI secrets.
  • No Manual Builds: Automate with CI/CD.
