GitHub Actions Build Artifacts
Overview
Reusable GitHub Actions patterns to build React Native apps for iOS simulators and Android emulators in the cloud, then publish artifacts retrievable via gh CLI or GitHub API.
When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- Creating CI workflows that build React Native simulator/emulator artifacts.
- Uploading iOS simulator and Android emulator installables from PRs or manual dispatch runs.
- Replacing local-only mobile builds with downloadable CI artifacts.
- Needing stable artifact IDs/names for scripted retrieval with
ghor REST API.
Quick Reference
- Add composite actions from gha-ios-composite-action.md and gha-android-composite-action.md.
- Wire them into
.github/workflows/mobile-build.ymlfrom gha-workflow-and-downloads.md. - Upload with
actions/upload-artifact@v4and captureartifact-idoutput. - Download with
gh run downloadorGET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/artifacts/{artifact_id}/{archive_format}.

| gha-workflow-and-downloads.md | End-to-end workflow wiring plus gh and REST download commands |
Problem -> Skill Mapping
| Problem | Start With |
|---------|------------|
| Need CI iOS simulator .app.tar.gz artifact | gha-ios-composite-action.md |
| Need CI Android emulator .apk artifact | gha-android-composite-action.md |
| Need one workflow to trigger both platform jobs | gha-workflow-and-downloads.md |
| Need scripted artifact download | gha-workflow-and-downloads.md |

VerifiedTrustedOfficial
Assesses whether and how an existing mobile product should migrate to React Native. Use when auditing one or more product repositories for migration readiness, including products whose iOS, Android, and other clients live in separate directories or repositories; choosing brownfield, greenfield, or a checkpoint-based path; defining a representative trial; or preparing a baseline and ROI decision before implementation. When product scope or material evidence is unavailable, grills the stakeholder with exactly one question per turn instead of sending a questionnaire.

Implements an accepted incremental brownfield migration from native iOS or Android to React Native or Expo using @callstack/react-native-brownfield. Use after the brownfield path has been selected, when setting up the integration, packaging XCFramework or AAR artifacts, or adding React Native surfaces to native hosts.
