EAS Configuration

Add environment variables to your eas.json file:

{
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 7.5.0"
  },
  "build": {
    "development": {
      "developmentClient": true,
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "preview": {
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "production": {
      "env": {
        "EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL": "your-production-supabase-url",
        "EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY": "your-production-supabase-anon-key",
        "EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_BUCKET_NAME": "your-storage-bucket-name",
        "EXPO_PUBLIC_ONE_SIGNAL_APP_ID": "your-onesignal-app-id",
        "EXPO_PUBLIC_REVENUE_CAT_API_KEY_APPLE": "your-revenuecat-apple-key"
      }
    }
  },
  "submit": {
    "production": {}
  }
}

Build Commands

# Build for production
eas build --platform all --profile production
 
# Submit to stores
eas submit --platform ios
eas submit --platform android

Using EAS Secrets

For sensitive values, use EAS Secrets instead of putting them in eas.json:

# Add secret
eas secret:create --scope project --name REVENUE_CAT_API_KEY_APPLE --value your-secret-value
 
# Reference in eas.json
{
  "build": {
    "production": {
      "env": {
        "EXPO_PUBLIC_REVENUE_CAT_API_KEY_APPLE": "@REVENUE_CAT_API_KEY_APPLE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Common Issues

Build fails/app crashes after build: Missing environment variables in eas.json
Variables undefined: Use EXPO_PUBLIC_ prefix for client-side variables
Wrong values: Ensure variable names match exactly between code and eas.json
