expo-eas-update

expo-eas-update is a skill for Claude Code from fatihkan/badi. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,493 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to publishing JavaScript and media updates to an installed Expo app over the internet with EAS Update. It explains channels, branches, runtime versions, staged releases, and rollbacks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to publish updates, connect release channels to branches, check runtime compatibility, choose between embedded and online updates, and roll back a release.
Why use it?
It helps deliver changes without rebuilding the native app when the installed runtime supports them. It also reduces mistakes when separating development, testing, and production updates.

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

expo-eas-update 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 3d 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.

expo-eas-update

OTA (over-the-air) update publishing discipline with EAS Update. Channel/branch model, runtime-version strategy, rollback, and embedded vs OTA payload decisions. Build profiles live in expo-eas-build.

What It Does

  • Publishing JS/asset payloads with eas update
  • Channel ↔ branch mapping management
  • Runtime-version discipline (appVersion / sdkVersion / fingerprint / custom)
  • Branch management (preview, staging, production, feature/*)
  • Rollback and cohort/rollout-percent strategy
  • Embedded update vs OTA payload selection

Setup

npx expo install expo-updates
eas update:configure

app.json:

{
  "expo": {
    "runtimeVersion": { "policy": "appVersion" },
    "updates": {
      "url": "https://u.expo.dev/<project-id>",
      "fallbackToCacheTimeout": 0,
      "checkAutomatically": "ON_LOAD",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Channel ↔ Branch Model

Build channel Branch Purpose
development development Dev client OTA
preview preview QA test
production production Production

A single branch can be bound to different channels (eas channel:edit production --branch hotfix-1).

Runtime Version Policies

Policy How it's derived Usage
appVersion expo.version Native change = new build + new runtime
sdkVersion Expo SDK SDK upgrade = new runtime (no longer recommended)
nativeVersion version+buildNumber Every build a different runtime — OTA usually won't apply
fingerprint Native dependency fingerprint Recommended: auto-detects whether native changed

fingerprint (the default recommendation in modern Expo):

"runtimeVersion": { "policy": "fingerprint" }

Publishing an Update

# Publish to a branch
eas update --branch production --message "fix: profile crash"

# Same name as the current Git branch
eas update --auto

# A single platform only
eas update --branch production --platform ios --message "iOS-only fix"

# Channel list
eas channel:list
eas branch:list

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.
