Goodspeed

Build apps with EAS Build

EAS Build compiles iOS and Android binaries in the cloud; EAS Submit pushes them to the App Store and Play Store without a Mac. Goodspeed generates EAS Build as a standard part of every app, so the output is a working codebase from day one, not a scaffold you have to finish yourself.

WHAT GETS GENERATED

Built into every EAS Build build

Every app Goodspeed generates with EAS Build includes these production-ready patterns, wired together from the first build.

ItemDescriptionStrength
eas.json with three build profilesdevelopment (creates a development client for local iteration), staging (internal distribution for TestFlight/Play internal), and production (store submission).Build
Cloud iOS builds from any machineEAS Build provisions Xcode, signing certificates, and provisioning profiles in the cloud. No Mac required for the iOS binary in any profile.Deploy
EAS Update OTA channel wiredJavaScript changes ship over the air via EAS Update without App Store review. The update channel (preview/staging/production) is read from EXPO_PUBLIC_RELEASE_CHANNEL.Deploy
Build caching for faster iterationsEAS Build caches the node_modules layer and native binary so only changed code triggers a full native compile. Most JS-only builds complete in under two minutes.Performance
scripts/release.mjs automationThe release script runs tsc --noEmit, bumps the version, submits the EAS Build, and pushes the OTA update in sequence so no step is skipped by accident.Automation

REAL GENERATED CODE

A snippet from a EAS Build app the studio shipped

This pattern comes directly from the gas-template codebase, the foundation every Goodspeed app is generated on. The studio generates EAS Build code like this for every app in the pipeline, not just a hello-world scaffold.

  1. eas.json profiles

    // eas.json: three build profiles
    {
      "build": {
        "development": {
          "developmentClient": true,
          "distribution": "internal"
        },
        "staging": {
          "distribution": "internal",
          "channel": "staging"
        },
        "production": {
          "autoIncrement": true,
          "channel": "production"
        }
      }
    }
