Expo: what is the difference between expo build and expo upload

Question

What are difference between expo build and upload. Does upload cmd still return a standalone app. I realized if i run on Expo Client will work fine but when build a standalone version, the application does not behave the same again.

Answer 1

The commands build and upload are very different ones. The build command (Expo documentation on building) builds a standalone app, while the 'upload' command (Expo documentation on uploading) uploads the standalone app that you've built to the App Store or the Play Store (Your Choice).
