import { Collapsible } from '~/ui/components/Collapsible';

Pre-packaged jobs are ready-to-use workflow jobs that help you automate common tasks like building, submitting, and testing your app. They provide a standardized way to handle these operations without having to write custom job configurations from scratch. This guide covers the available pre-packaged jobs and how to use them in your workflows.

## Build

Build your project into an Android or iOS app.

Build jobs can be customized so that you can execute custom commands during the build process. See [Custom builds](/custom-builds/get-started/) for more information.

### Prerequisites

To successfully use the build job, you'll need to complete a build with EAS CLI using the same platform and profile as the pre-packaged job. Learn how to [create your first build](/build/setup/) to get started.

### Syntax

```yaml
jobs:
  build_app:
    type: build
    runs_on: string # optional - see https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/ for available options
    params:
      platform: android | ios # required
      profile: string # optional - default: production
      message: string # optional
```

#### Parameters

You can pass the following parameters into the `params` list:

| Parameter | Type   | Description                                                                                                   |
| --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| platform  | string | **Required.** The platform to build for. Can be either `android` or `ios`.                                    |
| profile   | string | Optional. The build profile to use. Defaults to `production`.                                                 |
| message   | string | Optional. Custom message attached to the build. Corresponds to the `--message` flag when running `eas build`. |

#### Environment variables

If you need certain environment variables during the build process, you can include them in your [eas.json](/eas/json/#environment), for your specified build `profile`. They will be pulled from [EAS environment variables](/eas/environment-variables/).

#### Outputs

You can reference the following outputs in subsequent jobs:

## Fingerprint

Calculates a fingerprint of your project.

> **Note:** This job type only supports [CNG (managed)](/workflow/continuous-native-generation/) workflows. If you commit your **android** or **ios** directories, the fingerprint job won't work.

> **Note:** To ensure fingerprints match your builds, use the same `environment` setting as your build profile. For environment variables, we recommend using [EAS environment variables](/eas/environment-variables/) rather than the [`env`](/eas/workflows/syntax/#jobsjob_idenv) field for better consistency.

### Syntax

```yaml
jobs:
  fingerprint:
    type: fingerprint
    environment: production | preview | development # optional, defaults to production
    env: # optional list of environment variables
      ENV_VAR_NAME: value
```

#### Environment variables

You can pass a list of environment variables into the `env` parameter. These environment variables will be pulled from [EAS environment variables](/eas/environment-variables/). The passed `environment` parameter will be used for the environment variable's environment, which is useful when the same environment variable is defined across different environments.

#### Outputs

You can reference the following outputs in subsequent jobs:

| Output                   | Type   | Description                       |
| ------------------------ | ------ | --------------------------------- |
| android_fingerprint_hash | string | The fingerprint hash for Android. |
| ios_fingerprint_hash     | string | The fingerprint hash for iOS.     |

### Examples

Here are some practical examples of using the fingerprint job:

<Collapsible summary="Basic fingerprint calculation">

This workflow calculates fingerprints for both Android and iOS builds. The `environment` should match your build profile for accurate fingerprint matching.

```yaml .eas/workflows/fingerprint-basic.yml
name: Basic Fingerprint

jobs:
  fingerprint:
    name: Calculate Fingerprint
    type: fingerprint
    # @info Match your build profile's environment #
    environment: production
    # @end #
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Fingerprint with inline environment variables">

> **Note:** If you depend on inline environment variables, you will need to always make sure to set the right set of environment variables to the right values in every place (build profile, fingerprint job, update job, and so on) for fingerprints to match. **We recommend using [EAS Environment Variables](/eas/environment-variables/) instead**, where you can group sets of variables into environments and reference them in the build profile and workflow jobs.

```yaml .eas/workflows/fingerprint-with-env.yml
name: Fingerprint with Environment Variables

jobs:
  fingerprint:
    name: Calculate Fingerprint
    type: fingerprint
    environment: production
    # Resulting environment will be a union of the "production" environment and the inline environment variables.
    # `env` variables override environment variables of the same name from the "production" environment.
    env:
      APP_VARIANT: staging
      API_URL: https://api.staging.example.com
```

| git_commit_hash      | string  | Optional. The git commit hash.                                                 |
| fingerprint_hash     | string  | Optional. The fingerprint hash.                                                |
| sdk_version          | string  | Optional. The SDK version.                                                     |

| simulator            | boolean | Optional. Whether to get a simulator build.                                    |
| wait_for_in_progress | boolean | Optional. Whether to wait for a matching in-progress build. Default: `false`.  |

If `wait_for_in_progress` is set to `true`, the job will still prioritize continuing immediately with a successful build, but it will also look for in-progress builds. If no successful build is found, the job will wait for an in-progress build to complete before continuing. If the matched build succeeds, the job will be marked as successful and will return the successful build. If the matched build fails, the job will be marked as successful and its outputs will be empty &mdash; as if the build has not been matched.

#### Outputs

You can reference the following outputs in subsequent jobs:

| Output            | Type   | Description                                    |

## TestFlight

Distribute iOS builds to TestFlight internal and external testing groups. This is an alternative to the iOS submit job for when you need more advanced TestFlight features. If you need to control test groups, changelog, or Beta App Review submission, use the `testflight` job instead of submit.

### Prerequisites

TestFlight jobs require an iOS build created with `distribution: store`. You'll need to have your Apple Developer account configured. See the [TestFlight submission guide](/submit/ios/#submitting-your-app-using-cicd-services) for more information.

### Syntax

```yaml
jobs:
  testflight_distribution:
    type: testflight
    runs_on: string # optional - see https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/ for available options
    params:
      build_id: string # required
      profile: string # optional - default: production

### Examples

Here are some practical examples of using the TestFlight job:

<Collapsible summary="Full distribution with internal and external groups">

This workflow distributes to both internal and external TestFlight groups with a changelog.

```yaml .eas/workflows/testflight-full.yml
name: TestFlight Distribution

jobs:
  build_ios:
    name: Build iOS
    type: build
    params:
      platform: ios
      profile: production

  testflight:
    name: Distribute to TestFlight
    type: testflight
    needs: [build_ios]
    params:
      build_id: ${{ needs.build_ios.outputs.build_id }}
      internal_groups: ['QA Team']
      external_groups: ['Public Beta']
      changelog: |
        What's new in this release:
        - New features
        - Bug fixes
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Upload with changelog only">

This workflow uploads a build with a changelog but without specifying any groups to explicitly add the build to. The build will only get added to internal groups with "auto-distribute" enabled.

```yaml .eas/workflows/testflight-changelog.yml
name: TestFlight with Changelog

jobs:
  testflight:
    name: Upload with Changelog
    type: testflight
    params:
      build_id: ${{ needs.build_ios.outputs.build_id }}
      changelog: "${{ github.commit_message || 'Bug fixes' }}"
      # github.commit_message only available in push & schedule events.
```

</Collapsible>

## Update

Publish an update using [EAS Update](/eas-update/introduction/).

### Prerequisites

To publish update previews and to send over-the-air updates, you'll need to run `npx eas-cli@latest update:configure`, then create new builds. Learn more about [configuring EAS Update](/eas-update/getting-started/#prerequisites).

### Syntax

```yaml
jobs:
  publish_update:
    type: update
    environment: production | preview | development # optional, defaults to production
    env: # optional list of environment variables
      ENV_VAR_NAME: value
    runs_on: string # optional - see https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/ for available options
    params:
      message: string # optional
      platform: string # optional - android | ios | all, defaults to all
      branch: string # optional
      channel: string # optional - cannot be used with branch
      private_key_path: string # optional
      upload_sentry_sourcemaps: boolean # optional - defaults to "try uploading, but don't fail the job if it fails"
```

#### Environment variables

You can pass a list of environment variables into the `env` parameter. These environment variables will be pulled from [EAS environment variables](/eas/environment-variables/). The passed `environment` parameter will be used for the environment variable's environment, which is useful when the same environment variable is defined across different environments.

#### Parameters

You can pass the following parameters into the `params` list:

| Parameter                | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

| branch                   | string  | Optional. Branch to use for the update. If not provided, the branch from the workflow run will be used. For manually run workflows you need to provide a value. Example: `${{ github.ref_name \|\| 'testing' }}`. Provide _either_ a branch or a channel, not both.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| channel                  | string  | Optional. Channel to use for the update. Provide _either_ a branch or a channel, not both.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| private_key_path         | string  | Optional. Path to the file containing the PEM-encoded private key corresponding to the certificate in [EAS Update configuration](/eas-update/code-signing/#publish-a-signed-update-for-your-app). You can reference a file type [EAS environment variable](/eas/environment-variables/) with `"$VARIABLE_NAME"` syntax. This is equivalent to passing `--private-key-path` to the EAS CLI.                                                                   |
| upload_sentry_sourcemaps | boolean | Optional. Whether to upload Sentry sourcemaps. If the value is `true`, the job will upload Sentry source maps and fail if uploading fails. If the value is `false`, the job will not upload sourcemaps to Sentry. If the value is not provided, the job is going to check if `@sentry/react-native` is installed and if it is, try to upload sourcemaps. If that fails, it will only print the error message and continue with the job marked as successful. |

#### Outputs

You can reference the following outputs in subsequent jobs:

| Output                | Type   | Description                                                   |
| --------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| first_update_group_id | string | The ID of the first update group.                             |
| updates_json          | string | A JSON string containing information about all update groups. |

### Examples

Here are some practical examples of using the update job:

<Collapsible summary="Basic update to production channel">

This workflow publishes an update to the production channel whenever you push to the main branch, using the commit message as the update message.

```yaml .eas/workflows/update-production.yml
name: Update Production

  push:
    branches: ['main']

jobs:
  update_production:
    name: Update Production Channel
    type: update
    params:
      channel: production

<Collapsible summary="Using Maestro prefixed environment variables">

Maestro can automatically read environment variables in a workflow when the variable is prefixed by `MAESTRO_`. For more information, see the [Maestro documentation on shell variables](https://docs.maestro.dev/advanced/parameters-and-constants#accessing-variables-from-the-shell).

```yaml .eas/workflows/maestro-basic.yml
name: Basic Maestro Test

jobs:
  test:
    name: Run Maestro Tests
    type: maestro
    env:
      MAESTRO_APP_ID: 'com.yourhost.yourapp'
    params:
      build_id: ${{ needs.build_ios_simulator.outputs.build_id }}
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Recording screen and using a specific device">

This workflow runs Maestro tests on an Android emulator build with a specific device and records the screen.

```yaml .eas/workflows/maestro-sharded.yml
name: Pixel E2E Test

jobs:
  test:
    name: Run Maestro Tests
    type: maestro
    runs_on: linux-large-nested-virtualization
    params:
      build_id: ${{ needs.build_android_emulator.outputs.build_id }}
      device_identifier: 'pixel_6'
      record_screen: true
      android_system_image_package: 'system-images;android-35;default;x86_64'
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Saving screenshots and recordings">

To save assets created by Maestro commands (such as [`takeScreenshot`](https://docs.maestro.dev/api-reference/commands/takescreenshot) or [`startRecording`](https://docs.maestro.dev/api-reference/commands/startrecording)) to use for debugging later, use the `MAESTRO_TESTS_DIR` environment variable.

In your Maestro flow file, specify the asset locations:

```yaml maestro/flows/test-flow.yaml
appId: com.myapp
---
- launchApp
- startRecording: ${MAESTRO_TESTS_DIR}/my_recording
- takeScreenshot: ${MAESTRO_TESTS_DIR}/my_screenshot
- tapOn: 'Login Button'
- takeScreenshot: ${MAESTRO_TESTS_DIR}/after_login_screenshot
- stopRecording
```

The assets will be available within the "Maestro Test Results" artifact in the Artifacts section.

## GitHub Comment

Automatically post reports of your workflow's completed builds and updates to GitHub pull requests. It's particularly useful for providing instant feedback on PR builds, sharing test builds with QR codes for easy device testing, and automating deployment notifications. You can also override the comment contents by providing the `payload` parameter.

### Prerequisites

To use the GitHub Comment job, your project must have a GitHub repository connected. Learn how to [connect your GitHub repository](/build/building-from-github) to get started.

### Syntax

```yaml
jobs:
  github_comment:
    type: github-comment
    params:
      message: string # optional - custom message to include in the report
      build_ids: string[] # optional - specific build IDs to include, defaults to all related to the running workflow
      update_group_ids: string[] # optional - specific update group IDs to include, defaults to all related to the workflow

  # instead of using message and the builds and updates table, you can also override the comment contents with `payload`
  custom_github_comment:
    type: github-comment
    params:
      payload: string # optional - raw markdown/HTML content for fully custom comment
```

#### Parameters

The job operates in two mutually exclusive modes:

##### Mode 1: Auto-with-overrides mode

Default behavior is auto discovery builds and updates, you can specify any of these parameters if you want to:

| Parameter        | Type     | Description                                                                                                                                                      |
| ---------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| message          | string   | Optional. Custom message to include at the top of the comment. Defaults to "Your builds and updates are ready for testing!"                                      |
| build_ids        | string[] | Optional. Array of specific build IDs to include. If not specified, auto-discovers all completed/failed/canceled builds. Use empty array `[]` to exclude builds. |
| update_group_ids | string[] | Optional. Array of specific update group IDs to include. If not specified, auto-discovers all successful updates. Use empty array `[]` to exclude updates.       |

> **Auto-discovery behavior**: When `build_ids` or `update_group_ids` are not specified (undefined), the job automatically discovers all relevant builds and updates from the current workflow. To explicitly exclude builds or updates, pass an empty array `[]`.

##### Mode 2: Payload mode

When using payload mode, you cannot specify any other parameters.

| Parameter | Type   | Description                                                                                    |
| --------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| payload   | string | Raw markdown or HTML content to post as the comment. Supports workflow variable interpolation. |

#### Outputs

You can reference the following outputs in subsequent jobs:

| Output      | Type   | Description                                                                                |
| ----------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| comment_url | string | URL of the posted GitHub comment (only available when the comment is successfully posted). |

### Examples

Here are practical examples demonstrating both modes of the GitHub Comment job:

#### Auto-with-overrides mode examples

<Collapsible summary="Auto-discover all builds and updates">

This is the simplest usage - automatically discovers and posts all builds and updates from the workflow.

```yaml .eas/workflows/pr-auto-comment.yml
name: PR Auto Comment

on:
  pull_request: {}

jobs:
  # ...

  comment_on_pr:
    name: Post Results to PR
    after: [build_ios, build_android, publish_update]
    type: github-comment
    # No params needed - auto-discovers all builds and updates
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Custom message with auto-discovery">

Adds a custom message while still auto-discovering all builds and updates.

```yaml .eas/workflows/pr-custom-message.yml
name: PR Custom Message

on:
  pull_request: {}

jobs:
  # ...

  comment_on_pr:
    name: Post Build to PR
    after: [build_ios, build_android, publish_update]
    type: github-comment
    params:
      message: '🎉 Preview builds are ready! Please test these changes before approving the PR.'
      # build_ids and update_group_ids are undefined, so auto-discovery is enabled
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Specify exact builds and updates">

Explicitly specify which builds and updates to include in the comment.

```yaml .eas/workflows/pr-specific-builds.yml
name: PR Specific Builds

on:
  pull_request: {}

jobs:
  # ...

  comment_update:
    name: Post Update to PR
    after: [build_ios, build_android, publish_update]
    type: github-comment
    params:
      message: 'Testing builds ready for QA review'
      build_ids:
        - ${{ after.build_ios.outputs.build_id }}
        - ${{ after.build_android.outputs.build_id }}
      update_group_ids:
        - ${{ after.publish_update.outputs.first_update_group_id }}
```

</Collapsible>

<Collapsible summary="Exclude builds or updates">

Use empty arrays to exclude specific content types.

```yaml .eas/workflows/pr-updates-only.yml
name: PR Updates Only

on:
  pull_request: {}

jobs:
  # ...

  comment_updates_only:
    name: Post Updates Only
    after: [publish_update]
    type: github-comment
    params:
      message: 'New update available for testing!'
      build_ids: [] # Empty array excludes all builds
      # update_group_ids undefined = auto-discover updates
```

</Collapsible>

#### Payload mode examples

<Collapsible summary="Fully custom comment with payload">

Payload mode gives you complete control over the comment content. Note that when using payload, you cannot specify any other parameters.

```yaml .eas/workflows/custom-pr-comment.yml
name: Custom PR Comment

on:
  pull_request: {}

jobs:
  # ...

  custom_comment:
    name: Post Custom Comment
    needs: [build_ios]
    type: github-comment
    params:
      # Payload mode: complete control over content
      # Cannot use message, build_ids, or update_group_ids with payload
      payload: |
        ## 🚀 Build Status Update

        ### iOS Build Completed
        - **Build ID**: `${{ needs.build_ios.outputs.build_id }}`
        - **Version**: ${{ needs.build_ios.outputs.app_version }}
        - **Build Number**: ${{ needs.build_ios.outputs.app_build_version }}

        ### Next Steps
        1. Download the build from [EAS Dashboard](https://expo.dev/accounts/[account]/projects/[project]/builds/${{ needs.build_ios.outputs.build_id }})
        2. Test on physical device
        3. Approve for TestFlight distribution

## Repack

Repackages an app from an existing build. This job repackages the app's metadata and JavaScript bundle without performing a full native rebuild, which is useful for creating a faster build compatible with a specific fingerprint.

### Syntax

```yaml
jobs:
  repack:
    type: repack
    runs_on: string # optional - see https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/infrastructure/ for available options
    params:
      build_id: string # required
      profile: string # optional
      embed_bundle_assets: boolean # optional
      message: string # optional
      repack_version: string # optional
```

### Common questions

<Collapsible summary="When to use and when not to use repack?">

Repack job is suitable for the following use cases:

- Reducing CI build times by reusing existing builds
- Trigging full native builds when required
- Delivering faster feedback loops to your team

Repack job is not suitable for the following use cases:

- Production builds that require builds to go through the complete pipeline for correct symbolication and app signing

| profile             | string  | Optional. The build profile to use. Defaults to the profile of the source build retrieved from `build_id`.                                  |
| embed_bundle_assets | boolean | Optional. Whether to embed the bundle assets in the repacked build. By default, this is automatically determined based on the source build. |
| message             | string  | Optional. Custom message attached to the build. Corresponds to the `--message` flag when running `eas build`.                               |
| repack_version      | string  | Optional. The version of the `@expo/repack-app` to use. Defaults to the latest version.                                                     |

### Examples

Here are some practical examples of using the Fingerprint with Repack jobs:

<Collapsible summary="Continuous Deployment with Fingerprint and Repack">

This workflow first generates a fingerprint and then builds or repacks the app depending on whether a compatible build for that fingerprint already exists. Finally, it runs Maestro tests.

```yaml .eas/workflows/cd-fingerprint-repack.yml
