When you want an app you can install, not just preview, Appnetic builds it natively with EAS, Expo’s cloud build service. You don’t need a Mac, Xcode or an Expo account.
Native builds are part of the Pro and Team plans, which are coming soon.

​
Start a build

1

Get to a working version

Builds use your current version, and it has to be working. Broken versions can’t be built.
2

Pick a platform

Click Build in the top bar and choose:
  • Android: an APK you can install on any Android phone.
  • iOS: a simulator build, which runs in Xcode’s iOS Simulator on a Mac.
3

Wait a few minutes

The build runs in the cloud and usually takes several minutes. You can keep working with the agent in the meantime.
When it finishes, a card in the chat has the download and, for Android, a QR code to install it on your phone. If a build fails, the card shows the error, with Fix with AI and Build again. Starting the same build twice just shows the one already running. See Install your app on an Android phone for a walkthrough.

​
What builds cost

Native builds come with the paid plans: Pro includes 3 a month and Team 15. After that, each build costs 10 credits. The Free plan doesn’t include native builds; preview your app in Expo Go instead. Pro and Team aren’t on sale yet, so join a waitlist to hear when they open. See Credits & plans.

​
Publishing to the stores

Signed App Store builds and submitting to the App Store and Google Play from Appnetic are what we’re building next.
