eas-release

A reference guide for building React Native apps with Expo Application Services and releasing them to Apple’s App Store or Google Play. It covers app builds, over-the-air updates, store submissions, and rollback planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure build profiles, manage versions and runtime rules, publish updates, submit releases, and recover from failed releases.
Why use it?
It explains how to keep development, testing, production, and JavaScript updates aligned with the installed app.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

eas-release scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Shipping: EAS builds, OTA updates and the stores

Build profiles that mean something

Three profiles cover almost every team:

  • development: dev client, internal distribution, debug-friendly. For daily work.
  • preview: release build, internal distribution. What QA and stakeholders touch. It must match production configuration except for distribution, or QA is testing a different app.
  • production: store distribution, autoIncrement on, credentials on EAS.

Per-profile env vars are for pointing at staging vs production backends. The bug to design against: a preview build silently talking to production data, or the reverse. Print the target backend on the dev/preview build's about screen and this class of incident becomes visible at a glance.

OTA updates and the runtime fence

The runtime version is the safety fence. An update reaches only binaries with a matching runtime version, and every native change (new native dependency, config plugin change, SDK upgrade) changes what the JS can assume about the binary.

  • "runtimeVersion": { "policy": "appVersion" } ties the fence to the app version. Reasonable default: bump the version for native changes (you will anyway) and the fence moves with it.
  • The catastrophic misconfiguration: shipping JS that requires a native module older binaries lack, to a channel those binaries still read. Result is a crash-on-launch for existing users, fixable only by another update or a store release. Before any OTA publish, the question is "does this JS run on every binary still reading this channel?" If a native anything changed since the last store build, the answer is no; ship a store build.
  • Channels map to environments (production, preview). Keep the mapping boring and documented in the repo.
  • Rollback plan: republish the previous known-good update. Practice it once before you need it during an incident.

Versioning discipline

  • User-facing version (version) and store build numbers (versionCode / buildNumber) are different things. Let EAS auto-increment build numbers; bump the version deliberately per release.
  • Never reuse a build number on iOS; the store rejects the upload and the pipeline halts on a bookkeeping error.
  • Tag releases in git with the version AND store build number, and archive source maps per release. Future-you, symbolicating a crash from an old release, depends on this being a habit.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

eas-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository AnilBurcu/claude-code-react-native (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,170 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
