Hi,
I’m having a hard time understanding how Expo publishing works. When I make a standalone build to publish to the app store on iOS. How does Expo know to serve the JS bundle from the published URL instead of developmentUrl?
(Its a detached app and technically I use fastlane ios beta to release builds)
hi @darkwata,
When you perform a publish, a js bundle is created and uploaded onto the Expo servers. A link to the expo server is then embedded when you perform a standalone build. This way, the standalone app will be able to fetch the most recent bundle as needed from the Expo servers.
In development, a link to your local machine’s server is produced instead. This way, when we hot reload your code in development, the bundle is pulled from the local machine’s server.
