Build and distribute the React Native and Expo starter

The repository does not prescribe a store account, signing arrangement, EAS project, update policy, or release workflow. Add those choices as part of your application deployment design.

Before creating a distributable build:

1. Replace the placeholder app name, slug, version, icons, and splash assets in app.json.
2. Define Android and iOS application identifiers and platform-specific permissions.
3. Remove development-only storage logging and public tunnel configuration.
4. Verify schema, record, media, retention, and remote API security boundaries.
5. Test on supported physical devices with a development or preview build.
6. Configure signing, builds, submissions, and updates using the selected Expo workflow.

Use Expo development builds for production-oriented development and whenever the application includes custom native code. After an Expo SDK or native dependency upgrade, create a new development build. Follow the Expo build documentation for current EAS Build and distribution setup.

CI exports production JavaScript bundles as a smoke test, but an export is not a signed Android or iOS build and does not replace device testing.
