Expo Workflows
Mobile CI/CD built for React Native
Builds, submissions, repacks, and OTA updates in one pipeline. Add it to your existing CI, or run everything here.

You don't need to rip out your CI. Most teams start by offloading mobile builds to Expo Workflows, then expand over time.
GitHub Actions handles everything: lint, tests, builds, signing, submissions. You manage macOS runners, Fastlane Match, keystore secrets, and ~100 lines of YAML per platform.
✕ Paying for macOS runners ($0.08/min)
✕ Managing 10+ signing secrets
✕ Maintaining Fastlane Match repo
✕ Full rebuild on every push (~18 min)
Keep GitHub Actions for lint, tests, and web builds. Offload mobile builds, submissions, and OTA to Workflows with a single CLI call.
✓ No macOS runners needed in GHA
✓ One secret (EXPO_TOKEN) replaces all signing config
✓ Mobile builds run on M4 Pro, faster + cheaper
✓ Lint & tests stay exactly where they are
Learn moreMove everything to Workflows. Trigger directly from GitHub events, Fingerprint detects what changed and runs only the jobs that matter
✓ Zero GitHub Actions needed
✓ Typically, 40–60% of pushes skip full builds
✓ End-to-end in ~15 lines of YAML
✓ Managed hardware, signing, and caching

Pre-packaged mobile jobs
Build, Submit, Update, Maestro, Repack, Fingerprint, Slack - composable. Full pipeline in ~6 lines. No bash scripts or Fastlane.
M4 Pro Apple Silicon
iOS builds on dedicated M4 Pro hardware optimized for React Native. 10-20 min vs. 15-40 min on generic macOS VMs.
Managed signing
One EXPO_TOKEN replaces keystone base64 vars, Fastlane Match, and Apple API keys Encrypted at rest, injected at build time.
Instant jobs: ~300ms
Slack notifications, artifact lookups, and lightweight tasks run instantly. Zero CI minutes consumed. No cold boot.
Automatic caching
Builds get faster as you use them. Hardware upgrades, cache tuning, and runtime optimizations applied automatically.
Run from anywhere
Trigger from GitHub events, invoke from any CI with eas workflow:run, or kick off manually from your terminal.
The invoice is just beginning. The real cost is invisible. Operational overhead, productivity loss, and deployment lag have an impact. Expo can reduce these DevOps costs by 80%, allowing engineers to focus on building features rather than managing infrastructure.
Expo Workflows serve as a high-performance mobile extension for GitHub Actions. While GitHub Actions is the standard CI for linting and tests, Expo eliminates the "Engineering Tax" of manual DevOps by automating iOS/Android build setups and code signing.
Choose the right path based on what changed in your CI/CD. Expo workflows provide the flexibility you need in one platform.
Full Build: 10-20 min
Native code changed? Workflows runs a full compile, sign, and submit — on M4 Pro hardware.
Learn moreRepack: ~2 min
No native changes detected. Workflows reuses your last build, rebundles the JS, and re-signs — skipping the full compile entirely.
Learn moreOTA Updates: < 5 min
JS-only hotfix? Push an over-the-air update straight to users' devices. No rebuild required.

“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.”
“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.”
