Deployment Process

Backend

Live/Deployed Stack

cd /path/to/DevBits/backend
docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f db

Rebuild and restart:

docker compose up -d --build

Tip

Check backend/scripts/README.md for database operations.

Build

Android Production Build

npx eas build -p android --profile production

Note

This generates an .aab file and uploads to your Expo account.

iOS Production Build

Replace android with ios and fill out proper credentials.

npx eas build -p ios --profile production

Note

Currently requires MY credentials. Need to add team credentials.

Submit

Android to Google Play Store

Copy file out of expo and create new release on Google Play Console.

Note

npx eas submit -p android failed, so manual submission is required until fix is in place. Im not sure what is happening.

iOS to App Store

npx eas submit -p ios --latest --profile production
