How to Successfully Publish Your App on the App Store or Google Play

As someone who has released many apps starting in 2015 using frameworks such as Cordova and Ionic, and more recently using React Native and Expo, I have learned that the rules for publishing apps can change frequently and can sometimes be challenging to navigate. With that in mind, I want to provide a brief guide to help others navigate the process. While this guide may not cover every aspect of publishing an app, it does cover general tips and information that should be useful for anyone looking to release their app on the App Store or Google Play.

Metadata

Keywords, Description, Screenshots, App Name, Promo Videos

There are significant differences between Apple and Google when it comes to metadata. Apple is generally stricter than Google, so it is advisable to follow Apple's guidelines to ensure the best chances of success on both platforms. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Keep your screenshots and promo videos separat

const flexIntegrationSdk = require('sharetribe-flex-integration-sdk');
const integrationSdk = flexIntegrationSdk.createInstance({
  // client information
})

let paginationLimit = null;

const getNextPage = (params, page, results = []) => integrationSdk.listings.query({...params, page}).then(resp => {
  console.log('resp.data.meta', resp.data.meta)
  if (!paginationLimit) {

First, copy the config plugin from this repo: https://github.com/gaishimo/eas-widget-example

You can reference my PRs there too (which, at the time of writing, aren't merged).

After adding the config plugin (see app.json) with your dev team ID, as well as a bundle ID, you can edit the widget folder to edit your code. Then npx expo run:ios (or npx expo run:android).

Workflow

After npx expo run:ios, open the ios folder, and open the file that ends in .xcworkspace in XCode. Make sure you have the latest macOS and XCode versions. If you don't, everything will break.
