Update publishing

Runtime version​

EOAS uses official Expo packages to resolve the runtime version of your project. It supports the fingerprint policy.

Publish an update​

To publish an update, run the following command in your Expo project:

npx eoas publish --branch <branch-name> [--nonInteractive] [--outputDir <outputDir>] [--platform <platform>]

This command will retrieve the expo credentials from your .expo/state.json file or an EXPO_TOKEN in your runtime environment to authenticate the request to the Expo API.

warning

🚨EOAS publish will create a new build of your app. Do not forget to pass the necessary environment variables to the runtime environment. Example: EXPO_TOKEN=your_token RELEASE_CHANNEL=staging npx eoas publish --branch <branch-name>. Or with dotenv: dotenv -e .env.local -- npx eoas publish --branch <branch-name>.

CI/CD​

You can automate the process of publishing updates by integrating the npx eoas publish --nonInteractive command in your CI/CD pipeline. However, you need to make sure that the EXPO_TOKEN is set up in your CI/CD environment. (Do not forget the --nonInteractive flag to avoid interactive prompts)
