EAS builds
Queue iOS and Android binaries in the cloud after you publish and set a Bundle ID.
Before you build
- Publish the web app at least once.
- Complete the embedded fields under Release, including a Bundle ID and app icon.
- Native builds require a paid plan. Free can still use web publish + source download paths as allowed by your plan.
Open Builds
From the studio, open Builds (/dashboard/apps/…/builds).

Status & download
Builds move through Queued → Building → Success / Failed / Canceled. Download the artifact when ready. Some successful builds can open in an in-browser simulator from the builds UI.
Simulation mode
If the Appify server is not connected to Expo cloud credentials, the UI may show Simulation mode. Contact the operator of your Appify instance if builds never leave simulation.
