Automate Everything

  • • Let ExpoDeploy handle builds automatically

  • • Set up notifications for all team members

Testing Strategy

  • • Run tests before builds (pre-build scripts)
  • • Test on staging before production
  • • Use development builds for quick iteration
  • • Monitor build success rates

Version Management

  • • Use semantic versioning
  • • Increment version numbers automatically
  • • Tag releases in Git
  • • Keep changelogs updated

Monitoring

Monitor your builds regularly. Track success rates, build times, and deployment frequency. Use this data to optimize your workflow.
