My usual process: Push one dev build eas build --platform ios --profile development Create app. You will be able to select bundleIdentifier from list Submit prod build. eas build --platform ios --auto-submit Your apple account will be added to testers list in TestFlight tab Join via email or code in TestFlight app and app is ready for downloading * I guess first step can be skipped: 3 than 2. But I haven't tried this order.

r/expo on Reddit: EAS Preview build and making changes.

February 21, 2023 -

Hello

I just completed my app :) and gave it for internal testing:

eas build --profile preview --platform all

Now, I wish to make some changes and see them in Expo Go. However I believe that Expo Go does not work well with EAS runtimeVersion.

So, then I came across this page and video.

https://docs.expo.dev/development/introduction/

I ran,

expo run:ios

And it opened up the app in the simulator. However, it made a whole new /iOS folder which now GIT says I have to commit.

I am confused. Do I commit this? Or put this in .gitignore.

Is this the best way to make changes in the app in between preview builds? I am thoroughly confused going through Expo's documentation.

Any help is appreciate. I have to iterate quickly on this app.

There are two separate concepts here: the app you use for development and how you build your app. The app you use for development can be either Expo Go or a development build of your own project. Expo Go is a fast way to get started but supports only the native modules included with the preset Expo SDKs. To use custom native code with Expo, you need to make a development build of your own project. Development builds include the expo-dev-client module that helps you load and reload your JavaScript during development. The developer experience is similar to Expo Go’s in that way. Also, traditional Android and iOS development both have debug and release schemes. With Expo, development builds use the debug scheme. The builds are what you’d get if you opened up Xcode and clicked “Run”, in contrast with archiving for the store. The second concept is how you build your app, namely on your own computer or with EAS Build (and you can do both). npx expo run:ios is a way to generate an Xcode project under the “ios” directory (the prebuild step) and compile and launch your app (the build step). It’s a shortcut for running npx expo prebuild --platform ios , followed by manually opening the Xcode project workspace and clicking “Run”. Expo CLI also optimizes some steps to be faster than Xcode’s. Using the prebuilt “ios” directory’s Xcode project, you can also create production builds by archiving an app like you would with traditional iOS development. Your choice to commit the “ios” directory depends on whether you’ve manually edited the generated Xcode project. It’s usually simpler not to edit and commit it. At this stage of your project, you probably don’t need to. Module authors can write config plugins , which run during the prebuild step and automatically make changes to the Xcode project files (like Info.plist most commonly and AppDelegate lifecycle hooks for iOS). Config plugins take care of editing your native projects so you don’t have to and let you gitignore your generated “android” and “ios” directories. When all of your native project customizations are managed by config plugins, you can delete your “android” and “ios” directories anytime and regenerate them with npx expo prebuild. Returning to the topic of ways to build your app, the second way is with eas build, which uses Expo Application Services (EAS)‘s hosted hardware. EAS Build supports making both development and production builds of your app. It also supports both projects that have and don’t have generated “android” or “ios” folders. EAS Build works with any React Native app. EAS has a concept called build profiles, which let you configure your builds differently for development, previewing, and production (and any other profiles you’d like to define later on). The guide on creating a development build shows how to define a build profile named “development” in EAS’s config file, eas.json. Running eas build:configure is the recommended way to initialize eas.json, after which you can define your development build profile: { “build”: { “development”: { “developmentClient”: true, “distribution”: “internal” } } } After defining your development build profile, run eas build --profile development --platform ios to create a development build of your app. The guide goes on to explain how to make Android emulator/iOS simulator builds, too. The EAS Build docs are also comprehensive and explain how to make production builds for when the time comes to submit to the stores .

Unless you're changing anything under the ios folder then you don't have to commit since Expo can generate that folder when necessary.
