Real numbers from the EAS Build infrastructure, not marketing estimates.

10–20 min iOS builds. No Mac.

iOS builds run on M4 Pro hardware in the cloud. No Mac required. No build machine to maintain. Most builds complete in 10–20 minutes, faster than generic CI/CD tools.

40–60% of pushes skip the full build.

Fingerprint detection identifies when only JavaScript changed and skips the full native build, using a repack (~2 min) or OTA update instead. 40–60% of your pushes never wait for a full build.

1 token. All signing. Zero manual steps.

One EXPO_TOKEN replaces 10+ signing secrets across your CI environment. Provisioning profiles, certificates, and Android keystores are managed automatically. No manual rotation, ever.

DevOps Tax

The real cost of CI

The invoice is just the beginning. For a solo developer, a broken pipeline costs the evenings you'd spend shipping features. For an engineering org, it compounds into operational overhead, productivity loss, and deployment lag. Expo reduces these DevOps costs by 80%, with the same managed pipeline whether you run one app or fifty.

Expo and GitHub Actions

Expo Workflows serve as a high-performance mobile extension for GitHub Actions. Keep GitHub Actions for linting and tests. Expo handles what it can't: iOS/Android build environments, code signing, and store submission. No manual DevOps, no Mac runners to maintain.

Expo and GitHub Actions

What keeps breaking your React Native CI.

Most React Native CI setups are web CI with Fastlane bolted on. The result: pipelines that break silently after every Xcode release, whether one person maintains them or a platform team does.

Certificate expiration

Apple rotates distribution certificates annually. Every rotation requires manual Keychain updates, re-export, and CI secret rotation, and usually breaks production builds at the worst moment.

Xcode version drift

The macOS runner on Bitrise or GitHub Actions updated Xcode. Your Fastlane config didn't. Build fails. You spend hours updating derived data paths and xcodebuild flags instead of shipping.

"Works on my machine"

Builds pass locally but fail in CI because the runner has a different Node, Ruby, or CocoaPods version. Reproducing CI failures locally takes most of the day.

Environment sprawl

Dev, staging, and production builds need different bundle IDs, API endpoints, and signing identities. Managing separate Fastlane lanes and CI environment variables per environment doesn't scale.

Battle tested CI/CD

From indie developers to enterprise, teams like HipCamp, PrizePicks, and InfiniteRed ship with Workflows.

Expo Workflows replaced our sluggish and brittle build process with something quick and dependable. Expo allows our engineers to focus on building features and not debugging build logs.

Armaiz Adenwala
Senior Software Engineer

Setting up React Native CI/CD used to be difficult until I started using workflows. Expo was already the best way to write React Native apps. Now it’s the best way to test and deploy them as well.

Workflows allowed us to replace large complex yaml files with pre-built jobs fully leveraging the power of EAS. It's made our pipelines feel effortless.

The same pipeline at every scale

Start where you are. The free plan and the enterprise plan run the same builds, so there's nothing to migrate later.

Shipping a passion project

Start on the free plan, no credit card. Cloud iOS builds without owning a Mac, automatic code signing, and a TestFlight link on every push. Set up in under 30 minutes.

Growing a team

Keep GitHub Actions for lint and tests, add EAS Workflows for builds, submissions, and OTA updates. One pipeline the whole team can read, and PR builds reviewers can install.

Running an app fleet

SOC 2 Type II, SSO, audit logs, and a 99.9% uptime SLA with dedicated support. Whether you run 50 or 5,000 builds a month, the pipeline holds.

Rolling out mobile CI/CD across an organization?

Expo handles the pipeline from your codebase to your users: builds, submissions, OTA updates, CI/CD, and observability; all in one AI-native platform.

Enterprise-ready out of the box

Security and compliance your procurement and legal teams can approve on day one.

SOC 2 Type II

Independently audited security controls. Full report available under NDA for enterprise customers.

GDPR & CCPA compliant

Data privacy frameworks already in place. Data processing agreement available for enterprise contracts.

SSO & role-based access

SAML-based SSO and granular permissions so the right engineers have exactly the right access.

Audit logs

Exportable logs for all admin actions and full chain of custody for every build and release.

99.9% uptime SLA

Enterprise SLA with dedicated support, because a failed pipeline the week of a release isn't acceptable.
