EXPO REACT NATIVE CLOUD BUILDS

Cloud builds and release delivery for Expo React Native apps

Mach turns an existing Expo React Native project into a repeatable iOS and Android delivery workflow—without separating builds, signing, OTA compatibility, testing, and store submission across different tools.

DELIVERY WORKSPACE

Everything around the build stays connected

Mach keeps source validation, signing, artifacts, tests, and store delivery in one release record.

Expo-aware prebuild

Resolve Expo configuration and run the native prebuild workflow declared by the project profile.

Secure signing

Keep Apple and Android signing material encrypted and scope it to the build that needs it.

Development builds

Create development-client or simulator builds alongside staging and production profiles.

OTA compatibility

Publish compatible JavaScript and asset updates with runtime and channel safeguards.

Maestro validation

Run managed Maestro flows and retain results beside the artifact they validate.

Store delivery

Submit successful iOS and Android artifacts and track the delivery record from the dashboard.

REPEATABLE WORKFLOW

From existing app to managed release

Configuration lives with the repository, so local development and CI use the same profiles.

Install the CLI

Install Mach once on your workstation or CI environment.

npm i -g @radhya/mach

Link the app

Connect the repository to the intended Mach workspace.

mach login && mach link

Review configuration

Validate identifiers, profiles, versions, and Expo runtime settings before spending a build.

mach config --profile staging

Build and monitor

Start the managed build and follow logs, artifacts, tests, and submissions in one place.

mach build --platform ios

COMMON QUESTIONS

Expo React Native delivery answers

Does Mach support Expo prebuild projects?

Yes. Use the Expo framework when Expo configuration and prebuild own the native project generation. Projects that deliberately own committed native folders can use the vanilla React Native workflow instead.

Can Mach create Expo development-client builds?

Yes. Development profiles can produce compatible development-client, simulator, or device artifacts according to the project configuration.

Do OTA updates replace native builds?

No. OTA is appropriate for runtime-compatible JavaScript, style, and asset changes. Native modules, permissions, SDK changes, and incompatible runtime changes require a new binary.

Can the same Expo build be tested and submitted?

Yes. Maestro results and store submissions remain linked to the successful build and artifact, preserving the release trail.
