## Prerequisites

Before publishing, you'll need:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="GitHub Account" icon="github">
    Required for source code hosting. Connected during deployment.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Expo Account" icon="code">
    Required for building native binaries. Free at [expo.dev](https://expo.dev).

## Deployment flow

1. **Connect accounts** — link GitHub and Expo to your Fastshot project
2. **Choose platform** — select Android, iOS, or both
3. **Build** — Fastshot triggers an Expo EAS build (3-4 minutes)
4. **Download/submit** — get the build artifact or submit directly to the store
5. **Publish** — complete the app store listing and submit for review
