How can I generate apk file for create-react-native-app (using EXPO.IO component)


I setup my app using create-react-native and I used expo's Video component in my app. How can I keep this video component and generate the apk file? Correct me if I'm wrong: to my understanding npm run eject prevents you from using expo components in the future. So how can I generate the apk file. It doesn't matter if it's signed or unsigned, atleast to me, I just want to email my friend the apk file so he can run it on his phone

Edit: This is not a duplicate of: How can I generate an apk that can run without server with react-native?

As that question asks how to generate an apk file for react-native, mine ask how this works with the specific create-react-native-app build where I am using an expo component


Solution

  • exp:build android exp:status to check the status of your apk

    will generate a url for you to download the apk from
