EAS Workflows is a CI/CD service purpose-built for React Native apps that can either replace or complement GitHub Actions. Starting from a verbose GitHub Actions workflow with complex Android keystore and Fastlane iOS signing setup, the post shows how EAS Build simplifies credentials management to a single EXPO_TOKEN. It then demonstrates a full migration to EAS Workflows YAML, which is far more concise. Key advantages include fingerprint-based conditional builds (only rebuild when native code changes), the repack job (re-bundle JS into an existing build in 1-2 minutes instead of a full build), and Maestro E2E test integration. For teams not ready to fully migrate, EAS Workflows can be invoked from GitHub Actions via `eas workflow:run --wait --json`, allowing gradual adoption while keeping existing lint/test jobs in place.
