A Custom Build System
summary
Expo’s hosted build service compiles a development client that bundles app JavaScript with a chosen native configuration so teams can test features that require native changes. The workflow uses expo build servers to produce APKs and ad hoc iOS clients, requires UDID registration to create an ad hoc provisioning profile, and can include custom native modules or config for in‑app payments and Facebook. Result: teammates on Windows/Linux can install a device‑signed client and verify native behavior without running Xcode or Android Studio locally.
