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
- 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😀
