Steps to Generate APK with Expo - React Native

Ensure Your App is Ready for Build:

  • Ensure your app is configured correctly and works as expected in development.
  • Ensure that all assets and code are correctly set up.

Install Expo CLI (if not already installed):

If you don’t have the Expo CLI installed yet, run the following command:

npm install -g expo-cli
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Login to Expo

If you don't have an account on expo, sign up here https://expo.dev/signup, and ensure you're logged in to Expo.

Then, You can log in using:

expo login
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install EAS CLI (Expo Application Services):

Run the following command to install EAS CLI globally:

npm install -g eas-cli
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Verify the installation by running the following:

eas --version
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Once installed, you can proceed with the APK build command:

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let me know in the comments how it goes.
