Publish My Mobile App vs
Expo EAS (EAS Submit)
TL;DR: We are a full-service publishing partner. We don't just upload the file; we format the landing page, talk to the reviewers, and ensure the app actually gets approved and goes live.
Who are we building for?
We built Publish My Mobile App for indie hackers, founders, and developers who value their time heavily. Our core belief is that once the code works, you shouldn't have to deal with 50 pages of Apple documentation, code signing errors, or formatting 20 different screenshot sizes.
You hand us the bundle (or repo access), and our experts format, optimize, and argue with Apple/Google reviewers until your app is live.
Who is Expo EAS (EAS Submit) for?
Expo EAS (EAS Submit) primarily targets: React Native developers comfortable with CLI tools and automated CI/CD.
Building and uploading React Native apps via automated cloud infrastructure. This makes it a solid choice if you fall firmly into their target demographic, but potentially frustrating if your goal is just to "get the app launched."
Feature Comparison
Metadata & Asset Management
We manually format screenshots, optimize descriptive text for ASO, and configure your entire store listing.
EAS Submit only handles the `.ipa` or `.aab` binary. You must still log into App Store Connect to do everything else.
App Review Rejections
We handle human review rejections, argue appeals, and provide specific code-level advice if needed.
EAS provides no human support for App Store policies. If Apple rejects your app, you are alone.
Ease of Use
Fill out a form, hand us the build, and we do the rest. No CLI commands required.
Requires setting up `eas.json`, configuring build profiles, and running terminal commands.
