Publishing to app stores
Build store-ready iOS and Android binaries for your Expo project and submit them.
Mobile projects publish differently from websites: instead of a URL, you build native binaries and submit them to the Apple App Store and Google Play. For Expo projects, the publish dialog's review step has an App Stores section with iOS and Android build buttons that run cloud builds through EAS.
Prerequisites
- An Apple Developer account (for iOS) and a Google Play developer account (for Android).
- An Expo account connected in Settings → Integrations.
- Signing credentials on the connected Expo account: Apple credentials for iOS, a keystore for Android.
If signing credentials are missing, the first build fails with instructions on how to set them up. That first failed build is the fastest way to see exactly what your account still needs.
Building and submitting
- Click iOS or Android in the publish dialog. The build is queued and tracked in deploy history.
- When the build finishes, download the artifact (IPA for iOS, AAB for Android) from the history entry.
- Submit through App Store Connect and the Google Play Console. Make sure your app has an icon, a privacy policy, and store listing assets ready.
