How to publish your React Native app to Expo Store 2024

I recently tried publishing my React Native app to the Expo store, only to discover that most articles on this topic are obsolete.

This article aims to help anyone trying to publish their React Native app to the Expo Store by following these simple steps.

• Create your project

npx create-expo-app@latest

• Install EAS CLI

sudo npm install --global eas-cli

• Ensure you have an account on Expo

Create Expo account here

• Login to your Expo account on the terminal

npx expo login

• Create or link to your Expo project

To create a new project, use the command below

eas init

if you already have an existing project on your Expo dashboard, use this command

eas init --id [paste your project ID gotten from your dashboard]

• Deploy to expo

eas update

If you encountered an error like I did while deploying, you might want to clear the cache and re-deploy.

To clear the cache

sudo npm cache clean --force

I hope you find this article helpful,
Happy reading, Happy Coding😀
