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.
| Item | Description | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| eas.json with three build profiles | development (creates a development client for local iteration), staging (internal distribution for TestFlight/Play internal), and production (store submission). | Build |
| Cloud iOS builds from any machine | EAS 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 wired | JavaScript 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 iterations | EAS 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 automation | The 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 straight out of the production groundwork every Goodspeed app is generated on. The studio generates EAS Build code like this for every app in the pipeline, not a hello-world sample you have to grow into a real app.
eas.json profiles
// eas.json: three build profiles { "build": { "development": { "developmentClient": true, "distribution": "internal" }, "staging": { "distribution": "internal", "channel": "staging" }, "production": { "autoIncrement": true, "channel": "production" } } }
