Evaluates each on build speed (Apple Silicon hardware tiers), code signing automation, OTA update support, configuration complexity, and pricing. Highlights EAS Workflows' fingerprint-based build skipping (repack) as a unique feature that can cut iOS build times from 10–15 minutes to ~2 minutes for JS-only changes. Provides a decision guide based on framework (React Native/Expo, Flutter, native iOS/Android) and team DevOps capacity, along with a feature comparison table. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
