A build's `gitCommitHash` must match the release tag commit. `status` walks through `NEW``IN_QUEUE``IN_PROGRESS``FINISHED` (or `ERRORED`/`CANCELED`).
A build's `gitCommitHash` must match the release tag commit. `status` walks through `NEW``IN_QUEUE``IN_PROGRESS``FINISHED` (or `ERRORED`/`CANCELED`). The EAS workflow run's `gitCommitHash` and `trigger` must also match the release tag.
Once a build is `FINISHED`, EAS auto-submits it to the store: Android via the `submit` block in `eas.json` (EAS-managed Play Console credentials), iOS via the Fastlane `submit_review` lane (uploads to TestFlight, then submits for App Store review). To confirm the submission landed, run `npx eas build:view <build-id>` and open the `Logs` URL it prints — the build's Expo dashboard page has a Submissions section listing each attempt with its store response. App Store Connect (TestFlight tab → ready for review) and the Play Console (Internal testing / Production tracks) are the final ground truth.
Once a build is `FINISHED`, EAS still has release-critical work to do: Android must submit to the Play Store, and iOS must upload to TestFlight **and** submit the build for App Store review. The release is not done until all platforms are on their way through the stores.
For the `Release Mobile` EAS workflow, these jobs must pass:
- `build_ios` — iOS binary built
- `submit_ios` — iOS binary uploaded to App Store Connect/TestFlight
- `submit_ios_for_review` — iOS build submitted for App Store review via Fastlane
- `build_android` — Android store binary built
- `submit_android` — Android binary submitted to the Play Store
Do not treat `build_ios: SUCCESS` or `submit_ios: SUCCESS` as a completed iOS release. `submit_ios_for_review: FAILURE` means the iOS release is blocked even if the build is visible in TestFlight.
To confirm the submission landed, inspect the EAS workflow with `npx eas workflow:view <workflow-run-id> --json`. App Store Connect (review state for the matching version/build) and the Play Console track are the final ground truth.
### Babysitting mobile after a release
The user rarely opens the Expo dashboard. A failed EAS build can sit silently until users complain about a stale version. After every stable release, set up a long-delay babysit that re-checks both EAS builds and GitHub Actions for the release tag. If anything is `ERRORED` or `FAILED`, surface it immediately. If everything is `FINISHED`/`SUCCESS`, confirm and stop.
The user rarely opens the Expo dashboard. A failed EAS build or submit/review job can sit silently until users complain about a stale version. After every stable release, set up a long-delay babysit that re-checks GitHub Actions, EAS builds, and the EAS `Release Mobile` workflow for the release tag. If any build is `ERRORED`/`CANCELED`, any workflow is `FAILURE`, or any required submit/review job fails, surface it immediately. If all builds are `FINISHED` and all required submit/review jobs are `SUCCESS`, confirm and stop.
**Use a heartbeat schedule, never a new-agent schedule.** Babysitting fires back into the current conversation as a wake-up prompt — `target: "self"` in `mcp__paseo__create_schedule`. Never use `target: "new-agent"`. A new agent spawns a fresh conversation the user has to find and read; a heartbeat surfaces the build status inline in the conversation that owns the release, where it is impossible to miss. If you find yourself reaching for `new-agent` for a release babysit, you are about to ship a status report into a void.

Tight cadence on purpose. The first run fires immediately, giving a near-real-time status check before the conversation closes. Subsequent runs at 15-minute intervals catch transitions quickly: a failed EAS build that errors at +20m should not wait until +50m to surface. Keep the prompt short — the heartbeat is a status probe, not a research task — and have it bail out as soon as everything is green so the remaining runs do not generate noise.
