Expo EAS CLI to Submit Apps to the Apple App Store With or Without a Mac and Test with TestFlight
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- Hi everyone!
Today I want to show you two ways you can build your Apple app using the EAS CLI and submit the App to the App Store.
The first way doesn't require the user submitting the app to the App Store to have a Mac, and also doesn't require them to manually download and upload an ipa file. It's definitely the easiest way.
The second way produces an ipa file for production. An ipa file is basically the format that Apple uses to bundle an app. This ipa file can then be uploaded to the App Store via the Transporter software available on the Mac App Store.
Both of these methods will then take a little time to process on App Store connect before you can distribute the app via TestFlight to your testers and test what your Expo app will behave like as a standalone production ready version of the app. At this stage you can also submit to Apple for review but will need to provide screenshots for various screen sizes and additional info such as description and testing info.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Intro
0:15 Auto Submit (No Mac Required)
1:57 Manual Submit (Transporter App using IPA File)
3:07 Finding TestFlight on App Store Connect
3:39 Transporter
4:32 Release Test Build via TestFlight
5:21 Download App from TestFlight for Testing

// ABOUT ME
My name is Chelsea and I started studying software engineering in 2010. I have been working commercially full time since 2014 and have been in various positions from graduate developer to tech lead to solution architect.
I'm a full stack developer with a lot of experience in C# and Javascript but my passion is for mobile development; specifically native iOS development and cross platform using React Native.
I always have many things on the go and am always trying out a new side hustle and failing at it; perhaps you can learn from my mistakes!

I love Apple devices... These are the ones I use for my channel content creation:

A good all round phone, good for Apple development and recording videos with enough high quality features but at a cheaper price point than the pro versions.
Apple MacBook Pro - amzn.to/3KxrE5q
A nice portable computer for working from anywhere and perfect for iOS development
Apple iPad Air - amzn.to/3xU2k21
Really easy to use for graphic design if required for logos as part of my app development or editing the videos on the go.

Hello, I wanted to say thank you, your videos have helped me a lot in my react native/Expo App development. You always have what am looking for whenever am stuck...Thank YOOUUUUU
I love that you use chapters, even on a 6 ( "sux" 🤭) minute video...! Super well explained! Muchas gracias!
Just found your channel your videos are great and super informative! I have been using expo for my application development and hit a wall when I got to needing to view a pdf, and thats where I found your videos. If you need an idea for a video I am having a hard time wrapping my noggin around breaking out of the expo environment with these EAS builds so you can use packages that don't work with expo and how all that works. Anywho keep up the awesome work!
thanks so much for the video!
Thankyou, it was very helpful for as i junior in app development and building tools from expo and apple.

Isn't transporter simply a FTP client and does it really matter which FTP client you use to upload the bundle?
