I finally reached the point in development where it was time to add custom native code to a project and try out Expo’s development builds feature. I followed a YouTube video and the official Expo docs to make a build for my project, but was confused when the build finished and there was no “install” button to click on the Web UI.
Turns out I accidentally made a build using the production profile instead of an installable one:
eas build
(this defaults to the production profile, which is for submitting to the app store, not for installing)
For an installable dev build, try:
eas build --profile development
