No video on KZbin clearly explains all this. thank you so much!

Thank you so much, trying my best over here!

True other videos aren't this clear

[@mikemece]

I had a lot of problems trying to build the application using EAS with Expo 51, lots of graddle errors or different stuff, so i finally got it using the prebuild method and building it later as a standalone app. Thanks!

Thank you! Will do!

[@WebDevJapan]

Awesome! Yeah we had some poblems with an app we built at work using Expo Go and later decided we wanted to put some kind of Google maps or some other map functionality into it. It isn't going well lol

[@prosperdzingo5895]

ooh that's bad did you manage to fix the issue

[@WebDevJapan]

@@prosperdzingo5895 Actually, no. It's just a little side project for us, not ofr a client. None of us have ever built a mobile app through to production. We are all busy with the main project right now. We are also trying to build one with web3 functionality and it's also not going well. I'm not having a fun time with React native when it comes to building more complex apps. Simple stuff is okay.

[@cpimenteldev]

Hey Simon, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@amani_art]

Super useful!!!

[@Aethid]

Finding a developer who prefers xcode over android studio must be rarer than spotting a unicorn. Jetbrains IDEs are usually best-in-class for their respective languages. On the other hand, I think the only IDE I have had the displeasure of using that is worse than xcode would be netbeans, and that is taking me back some. A part of that might be coloured by how compiling a large ios project in xcode took an eternity on my macbook. I am talking an hour or more. The same app for android would take a few seconds.

[@julianweiland3313]

Whats the difference between doing the local "release" deploy via expo and doing the local eas build? I didn't understand that, tbh. But thanks for that great video. I feel like I now understand much more then before.

[@withpaulex8645]

Thanks for the xcode part

Hi Simon, great video, thanks! I have an expo project in a monorepo, and i get ERR_FS_FILE_TOO_LARGE error when running npx expo, any idea what does it mean? When taking out the project from the monorepo it works iust fine

Thanks so much for this content... So a quick question, after running prebuild to add some code to the android app build.gradle file can you still run: npx expo prebuild --clean? will this remove the feature i added in the build.gradle file?

My development OS is Windows, when I run prebuild command, I only get android directory. What should I do for this?

[@galaxies_dev]

You need a Mac for iOS or use EAS

[@prosperdzingo5895]

things gets a little bit crazy when you leave the comfort of expo go , i felt that statements lol

[@galaxies_dev]

Indeed, but you can manage it!

[@kaanyildiz9673]

When I used prebuild I got only an android folder why? How can I solve it

On Windows you can't build for iOS, you would have to use a Mac or EAS

How can I configure it to just use JS (not typescript)

[@MohdSuhail-c9e]

I don't remember the exact name but when you initialize a new project with the expo command at that time you can add a flag it's something like --without typescript. You can find the exact flag on the expo docs

@@MohdSuhail-c9e the problem is that I've been looking for that flag for days but I'm unable to find it

Were forced to use eas build if we have any app api secrets.

No, not really

@@galaxies_dev without EAS clound services any app secrets will be bundled with the app at build time, or do you have another solution? Without using expo secrets via their cloud services.

Is prebuild convert used expo packages too? I mean after we prebuild and switch to the native, can we use expo router, expo icons etc? Are they free to use after prebuild?

I am facing an issue Whenever I am creating the build locally using XCode/Android Studio, the app gets stuck at the Splash Screen. I want an apk (with js bundled inside it so that I don't need to run metro), that I can install in my device. With EAS Cloud Service, it's easy but I want to do it locally for some reasons(Very Big Reasons), I have tried all the methods but every time the app gets stuck at the Splash Screen. Tried with a fresh project as well but same result for iOS and Android. Simon was able to run that in iOS but I'm not. Someone Please help....

[@LucilaTinkin]

Hi, can you resolved that?

[@easyitis2117]

@@LucilaTinkin Hii Yes it is fixed now. But I couldn't find the reason why it was happening. I just recreated the project and copied my code there. I did that piece by piece but still couldn't find the issue. Anyways, it is working fine now I can create development build in my system. No need for eas cloud, no limitations.
