What is @expo/eas-build-job?

@expo/eas-build-job is a package designed to facilitate the creation and management of build jobs for Expo applications using the Expo Application Services (EAS). It provides tools and utilities to define, configure, and execute build jobs for different platforms, such as iOS and Android, in a streamlined and efficient manner.

What are @expo/eas-build-job's main functionalities?

Creating a Build Job

This feature allows you to create a build job for an iOS project. You can specify the type of job, the platform, the root directory of the project, and the build profile to use.

{
  "type": "eas-build-job",
  "platform": "ios",
  "projectRootDirectory": "./",
  "buildProfile": "production"
}

Configuring Build Credentials

This feature allows you to configure build credentials for an Android project. You can specify the keystore information required for signing the APK.

{
  "type": "eas-build-job",
  "platform": "android",
  "projectRootDirectory": "./",
  "buildProfile": "production",
  "credentials": {
    "keystore": {
      "dataBase64": "<base64-encoded-keystore>",
      "keystorePassword": "<keystore-password>",
      "keyAlias": "<key-alias>",
      "keyPassword": "<key-password>"
    }
  }
}

Running a Build Job

This feature allows you to run a build job programmatically. You can define the build job configuration and use the `runBuildJob` function to execute it, handling the result or any errors that occur.

const { runBuildJob } = require('@expo/eas-build-job');

const buildJob = {
  type: 'eas-build-job',
  platform: 'ios',
  projectRootDirectory: './',
  buildProfile: 'production'
};

runBuildJob(buildJob).then(result => {
  console.log('Build completed:', result);
}).catch(error => {
  console.error('Build failed:', error);
});

circleci

CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform that supports various programming languages and frameworks, including mobile app development. It offers robust tools for automating the build, test, and deployment processes. While @expo/eas-build-job is focused on Expo projects, CircleCI provides a more general-purpose CI/CD solution.
