How Expo streamlined Hipcamp’s native and over-the-air update processes
Blog post from Expo
Hipcamp, previously reliant on Microsoft's App Center, transitioned to using Expo for its mobile app builds and over-the-air (OTA) updates following App Center's discontinuation. The switch to Expo, chosen for its speed, reliability, and seamless integration with existing workflows, significantly improved build efficiency, reducing build times from 60 to 10 minutes. A custom yarn command facilitated automation, allowing easy triggering of builds and integration with tools like Slack and Asana for monitoring and feedback. Expo's OTA updates enabled Hipcamp to deliver instant app fixes and new features, mitigating the delays inherent in app store reviews, and fostering a web-like deployment cadence. The adoption of Expo's tools transformed Hipcamp's release processes, reducing native releases, accelerating incident response, and enhancing overall team efficiency, ultimately allowing engineers, product managers, and designers to work more effectively and independently.
