Expo - EAS Update - Push changes to TestFlight

Question

I am using the fully managed expo workflow. I am trying to figure out how to use eas update to push updates to TestFlight on ios.

I have linked all channels to my main branch, the update is pushed successfully - however, I don't think it has updated the app within TestFlight.

eas.json

{
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 0.60.0"
  },
  "build": {
    "development": {
      "developmentClient": true,
      "distribution": "internal",
      "channel": "development"
    },
    "preview": {
      "distribution": "internal",
      "channel": "preview"
    },
    "production": {
      "channel": "production"
    }
  },
  "submit": {
    "production": {}
  }
}

I had the same problem and managed to fix it in this way:

1. eas update:configure and follow all the steps.

2. eas build --profile production – don't forget to increase the build number

3. eas submit -p ios --latest in order to have the last build on testflight and also make sure you update the app in your phone.

4. eas update after this, force close the app 2-3 times and you'll see the changes.
