Native EAS Deployment
Build the Android installation package for HeroUI Native Pro using EAS Build
This article was written by a human (md) and optimized by AI (mdx).
This guide is based on the completed HeroUI Native Pro installation. Please complete the basic installation and configuration first.
Configure the preinstall Script
Switch to apps/native/ and add a preinstall script to package.json:
Add the preinstall Script
{
"scripts": {
"preinstall": "npx -y hpsetup@latest <your_hp_key>"
}
}This step ensures that hpsetup runs before dependencies are installed, completing the full installation of all dependencies in advance, and then removes the postinstall of the pro package (so that subsequent installs pass without dependency build errors).
If you want to experience the latest internal testing implementation, you can replace latest with beta.
Configure EAS
Add an eas.json file:
{
"cli": {
"version": ">= 18.13.0",
"appVersionSource": "remote"
},
"build": {
"development": {
"developmentClient": true,
"distribution": "internal"
},
"preview": {
"distribution": "internal"
},
"production": {
"autoIncrement": true
}
},
"submit": {
"production": {}
}
}Add a .nvmrc file to specify Node version 22 (required by pnpm 11, otherwise an error will occur):

npx -y --package eas-cli eas build -p android -e previewTemporarily install an eas-cli package, then run the eas command within it, using the preview profile to run the Android build.

Tips
ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS
If you encounter the ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS issue, you need to add the corresponding dependencies to the trust list (allowing their build scripts to execute):
This is just an example; this dependency is already included in the hpsetup trust list.
Official Expo Plugin
If you need assistance with Expo development, you can install the official plugin:
