Fastshot builds your app as a real Android and iPhone app, on its own build machines. You don’t need an Expo account or a GitHub connection to publish.

​
What you need

A paid Fastshot plan

Publishing is part of the Starter, Beginner and Pro plans. On the Free plan the button reads Publish (Upgrade).

Google Play Console

Only to publish on Google Play. $25 one-time at play.google.com/console. An APK for your own phone needs no account.

Apple Developer Program

Only for TestFlight and the App Store. $99/year at developer.apple.com. An unsigned IPA for sideloading needs no account.

​
The words you’ll see

  • APK: the file you install on an Android phone.
  • AAB (Android App Bundle): the file Google Play needs.
  • IPA: the iPhone app file.
  • TestFlight: Apple’s app for trying an iPhone app before it goes on the App Store.

​
Publish from the editor

  1. Click Publish in the project header. On a phone, open the menu and tap Publish.
  2. The Deploy view opens. Choose the iOS or the Android tab.
  3. Follow the steps on the tab, then click Queue Build.
  4. The build card shows each step while the build runs.
  5. When the build is done, download your app file, or find it in Google Play Console or TestFlight.

​
Or ask in the chat

Type something like “build an APK” or “make an Android app file I can install”. The AI starts the build, and a build card appears in the chat. When the build is done, the card has Download APK and Download AAB buttons. If the build needs something first, the card asks for it. Fill it in and click Build now.
