Build a mobile app with Claude Code and ship it to the App Store

What this is

A free, step-by-step template from Taha's reels — the exact tools, prompts and links, laid out so you can follow along and ship. Comment the keyword on the reel and it also lands in your DMs.

Hey! 👋 Here's what I promised you — the full process, step by step:

You don't need to know how to code. Claude Code writes the app, and React Native + Expo turn one codebase into an iPhone and an Android app.

The steps

Set up — ask Claude Code to create a React Native + Expo project for you. This is the official command it runs:

npx create-expo-app@latest

Build an MVP — only a small first version: sign-up, login and one core feature. Start a waitlist, publish, then add updates little by little.
Test it on your phone — start the dev server, then scan the QR code in your terminal with the Expo Go app:

npx expo start

🔗Expo Gohttps://expo.dev/go

Test version first — before going public, put a test build in front of real users (TestFlight on iPhone):

Submit to the stores — Expo can send your build to the App Store and Google Play. Apple and Google review every app before it goes live.

🔗Submit to app stores (Expo docs)https://docs.expo.dev/deploy/submit-to-app-stores/🔗App Store submission (Apple)https://developer.apple.com/app-store/submitting/🔗Google Play Consolehttps://play.google.com/console

To publish you need developer accounts — at the time of writing: Apple Developer Program $99/year, Google Play $25 one-time registration fee.

Going live is not the finish line: you still need users. Build the waitlist while you build the MVP, then ship updates. 📱
