How privacy updating works

[michaelraz]

Hello,
how does privacy setting work in expo. I selected “privacy”: “unlisted” in under app.json.
Do I need to submit a new ipa file to the app store or can I just trigger a new build using expo to change that to public? Does it work the same way in the android play store?

Thanks a lot. Not sure what to do. Since I would like to change the privacy at least in the app store to public. Thanks a lot for any hint!

the privacy setting was previously used to determine whether your project page (eg: Expo) would be visible in the search from https://expo.io and within the expo client app and indexable on google. we no longer expose search for project pages, so the field doesn’t have much meaning anymore.

Thanks a lot for the very fast answer. I though it might have some effects on the play store or app store. That is not the case very good!
