# Building FiberOps Android APK

## Requirements

- [Expo account](https://expo.dev) — register at expo.dev
- EAS CLI: `npm install -g eas-cli`
- Authenticate: `eas login`

## Build (EAS Cloud — recommended)

Builds the APK on Expo's cloud infrastructure. No local Android SDK needed.

```bash
eas build --profile preview --platform android
```

Or via npm script:

```bash
npm run build:android:apk
```

The build will be queued on EAS. Once complete, download the `.apk` from the Expo dashboard or the URL printed in the CLI output.

## Build (local — requires Android SDK)

Requires Android SDK installed and `ANDROID_HOME` set.

```bash
npm run build:android:local
# or directly:
eas build --local --profile preview --platform android
```

Alternatively, use the Expo CLI directly:

```bash
npx expo run:android --variant release
```

## Distribution

The `preview` profile is configured for **internal distribution** (`buildType: apk`). Share the `.apk` file directly with testers — no Play Store submission needed.
