AI-generated overview

Provides GitHub Actions workflow patterns for building React Native iOS simulator and Android emulator artifacts in CI.

What it does: This skill supplies reusable GitHub Actions patterns for building React Native apps for iOS simulators and Android emulators in the cloud, then publishing the resulting artifacts. It covers composite actions for iOS .app.tar.gz and Android .apk builds, workflow wiring, and artifact upload with actions/upload-artifact@v4. It also documents retrieving artifacts by ID or name using the gh CLI or the GitHub REST API.
When to use it: Use it when creating CI workflows that build React Native simulator or emulator artifacts, or when uploading iOS simulator and Android emulator installables from pull requests or manual dispatch runs. It also fits cases where local-only mobile builds should be replaced by downloadable CI artifacts with stable IDs for scripted retrieval.
Requirements: Requires GitHub Actions as the CI environment, the gh CLI or GitHub API access for artifact download, and network access to GitHub. The skill ships no scripts; it is instructions plus reference markdown files.

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 gh or REST API.

Quick Reference

Add composite actions from gha-ios-composite-action.md [blocked] and gha-android-composite-action.md [blocked].
Wire them into .github/workflows/mobile-build.yml from gha-workflow-and-downloads.md [blocked].
Upload with actions/upload-artifact@v4 and capture artifact-id output.
Download with gh run download or GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/artifacts/{artifact_id}/{archive_format}.
