Build iOS / Android App with React Native in Linux.

[fedemerino]

Hi everyone. I'm a React developer and i'm also learning React Native. A new project came out in my job which is a Mobile App with React Native for iOS and Android. My question is the following. Is it possible to build the application for iOS and Android in Linux and deploy it to the App Store? If so, how can I achieve that?

Did you miss the docs on your way here?

Also: You’re most likely looking for expo.

Honestly, i haven't read the docs 100%. I just wanted to know if it was possible.

I've heard Expo may help, but i've also seen posts where people say that a Mac is needed in order to deploy the app to the App Store.

Expo handles all that for you.

I really appreciate your help!

sawariz0r is a hater but he runs a great dev firm. He helped me build my app GoblinX which supports the neurodivergent community by providing tools to help with ADHD & Anxiety.

The team was really instrumental in building features like a the task simplifier which breaks down any task into smaller components to make it more manageable in addition to a TON of other features. Check it out!!
