■ React Native EAS Build Guide (APK) -
Step-by-Step for Future Builds
1■■ Make Code Changes
Update your React Native code as usual: add features, fix bugs, or improve UI.
2■■ Test Your Changes Locally
Run `npx expo start` in the terminal to launch the project. Test it using the Expo Go app or Android
emulator.
3■■ Update App Version (Recommended)
Open app.json or app.config.js and update:
"version": "1.0.1",
"android": {
"versionCode": 2
}
Make sure `versionCode` is incremented every time you build.
4■■ Run EAS Build
Run the command:
`eas build -p android --profile preview`
This builds your project and uploads it to Expo's server.
5■■ Download & Share APK
Once build completes, Expo will give you a link to download the APK. You can then share it via
WhatsApp, Google Drive, etc.
