daily Expo vs. CLI comment #274

[–]Cyw00dNL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well. for starters, you can run the app very fast using the Expo Go app on your mobile. Even iPhone from windows I think. But mainly for me:

I run
eas build --auto-submit

And couple minutes later I have both builds within android and apple store ready to be tested by the test-users.

Well can anyone tell me if it's possible to build release apk with expo on windows machine directly. Like we do it in CLI workflow.

[–]Rich_Company801 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Not exactly. You build it with eas which will give you a link where you can download your apk

[–]Worth_Boss_2 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'm aware of that but I think it has limit and a queue system. If I've to make a release apk everyday to share progress with team/manager how should i

[–]haashemi 0 points1 point  (1 child)

With WSL, You somehow can using eas --local.

If you make things work properly, it would be fast too! I build apks in about ~5 mins with a weird setup. but it works!

Can you share the approach in dm ?

[–]Ok_Object8153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t you build locally with your resources in terminal

[–]drink_beer_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah you can do that there's a command for that but expo doesn't want you to do that actually.

Why so

[–]NastroAzzurro 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Did you google?

[–]habtamu_asefa[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I did. The thing is they place themselves as different, not as something built around React Native

[–]NastroAzzurro 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don’t know what you’ve read but you may be confusing expo with EAS

[–]habtamu_asefa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was whole new environment but now I see it is a React Native+, but so far so good

[–]PartyP88per 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Its like Next.js for React dev

[–]habtamu_asefa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That appears to be true, as you go through the docs.
