Publish Updates with Expo and React Native
summary
Explains how to ship small JS fixes between builds using eas update (successor to expo publish) and the runtime client module expo-updates. Demonstrates default update policy versus fallbackToCacheTimeout: 3s, shows commands to push with a branch and human message, and the Deployments UI that maps updates to app runtimes. Covers incompatible native-layer changes (location module) and how the server filters by runtime, and shows republishing by group id to revert a bad auto-resign release so users return to the prior update.
