Signed, sealed, deployed: shipping React Native apps

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

A practical checklist for shipping React Native apps: automate config and screenshots, manage signing, build in CI, and push to stores. Examples include using Trapeze to inject bundle IDs and versions, using Fastlane snapshot for App Store screenshots, and storing decodeable keystores in CI (base64 env var) so Gradle/Xcode can sign builds. Use TestFlight and Google Play internal testing to distribute (Google allows up to 100 internal testers) and App Flow or Fastlane to upload.
