nx/packages/expo/docs/prebuild-examples.md

The prebuild command generates native code before a native app can compile.

project.json:

{
  "name": "mobile",
  //...
  "targets": {
    //...
    "prebuild": {
      "executor": "@nx/expo:prebuild",
      "options": {}
    }
    //...
  }
}

nx run mobile:prebuild

Examples

{% tabs %} {% tab label="Generate Native Code for Different Platforms" %} The platform option allows you to specify the platform to generate native code for (e.g. android, ios, all).

      "executor": "@nx/expo:prebuild",
      "options": {
        "platform": "android"

    "prebuild": {
      "executor": "@nx/expo:prebuild",
      "options": {
        "clean": true
      }
    }

{% /tab %} {% tab label="Install NPM Packages and CocoaPods" %}

    "prebuild": {
      "executor": "@nx/expo:prebuild",
      "options": {
        "install": true
      }
    }
