Seen on the first afternoon of the deploy lane: three production builds (35, 36, 37) with the identical fingerprint 3658c7e2…, each uploaded to App Store Connect, because #7408 and #7428 merged while the previous build was still running and the get-build lookup only matches finished builds.

wait_for_in_progress: true on both lookups in deploy.yml, matching pr-preview.yml. A merge that lands mid-build now waits for that build and skips its own; the run that started the build is the one that uploads it.

Validated with eas workflow:validate.


Summary by cubic

Fixes duplicate production and internal builds in the mobile deploy lane when a merge lands while a build with the same fingerprint is already running. The lookups now wait for in-progress builds, matching the pull-request lane, so a second merge reuses the running build instead of starting and uploading another.

  • Both build_internal and build_production lookups set wait_for_in_progress: true.
  • The run that starts a build is the one that uploads it.

Written for commit 95d0b1b. Summary will update on new commits.

…rogress

Two mobile merges thirty seconds apart each built and uploaded their own
production binary with the same fingerprint, because the lookup only
matched finished builds. It now waits for an in-progress build with that
fingerprint, the way the pull-request lane already does, so a second merge
during a build reuses it instead of starting another.

A deploy that reuses an in-progress production build may never submit it to App Store Connect, so this should be fixed before merge.

site:docs.expo.dev/eas/workflows conditional jobs skipped needs job outputs submit build_id

💡 Result:

In the context of EAS (Expo Application Services) Workflows, you can manage conditional job execution and access outputs using the needs context [1][2]. When a job is skipped because its conditional (if) evaluates to false, it is marked with a status of skipped [3][4]. Downstream jobs that depend on this skipped job via the needs keyword will typically not run [3][2]. However, you can control the execution of subsequent jobs by checking the output or status of upstream jobs within the if conditional [5][6]. For example, when implementing a pattern where you either build an app or perform an update, you can conditionally run a submission job based on whether a build_id was generated in a previous step [5]: jobs: get_build: type: get-build #... parameters build_android: needs: [get_build] # Only build if no existing build_id was found if: ${{!needs.get_build.outputs.build_id }} type: build #... submit_android: needs: [build_android] # Only submit if a build_id exists type: submit params: build_id: ${{ needs.build_android.outputs.build_id }} In this pattern, if get_build finds an existing build_id, the build_android job is skipped [5][6]. Consequently, downstream steps or jobs dependent on build_android must be carefully managed using if conditionals to prevent them from attempting to access empty or invalid outputs from skipped jobs [5][6]. The needs object allows you to access both the status and outputs of upstream jobs, provided they have been defined in the needs list [3][1].

Expo EAS Workflows job skipped needs conditional if always submit job documentation

💡 Result:

In Expo EAS Workflows, you can conditionally skip a job by using the if keyword in your workflow YAML file [1]. When an if condition evaluates to false, the job is marked as skipped [1]. Key points regarding conditional execution and job skipping: 1. How it works: The if conditional determines whether a job should run [1]. If the condition is not met, the job is skipped [1]. 2. Dependency behavior: When a job is skipped, any downstream jobs that list the skipped job in their needs array will also be skipped [1][2]. 3. Common use case (Conditional Builds): A frequent pattern involves using a get-build job to check if a compatible build already exists [3][4]. You can then use the if conditional to run a build job only if the previous check failed to find an existing build [3][4]. Example configuration for conditional execution: jobs: get_build: type: get-build #... parameters to check for existing build build_job: needs: [get_build] # This runs only if build_id was NOT found if: ${{!needs.get_build.outputs.build_id }} type: build #... build parameters In this example, if get_build finds a build, build_job is skipped [3]. If you have subsequent jobs (like submit_build) that depend on build_job, they will also be skipped because the upstream dependency build_job did not complete successfully [1][2].

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.expo.dev/eas/workflows "always()" skipped job needs

💡 Result:

In GitHub Actions, a job with an if: always condition will run even if its upstream dependencies (specified in the needs keyword) have failed or were cancelled. However, if a required job in the needs list is skipped, the downstream job will also be skipped by default because its dependencies are not considered to have completed successfully. To force a job to run even when a previous job is skipped, you must explicitly check the status of the dependency within the if condition. You can use the always function combined with a check on the status of the specific job, as shown below: jobs: job1: runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: false # Simulating a skipped job run: echo "This job is skipped" job2: needs: job1 runs-on: ubuntu-latest if: always # This ensures it runs even if job1 fails, but will still be skipped if job1 is skipped run: echo "This will not run if job1 is skipped" job3: needs: job1 runs-on: ubuntu-latest # This checks if job1 exists and runs even if it was skipped if: always run: echo "This will run regardless of job1 status" The if: always condition alone is often sufficient to ensure a job runs after a failure, but because skipped jobs are handled differently in the dependency graph, explicitly accounting for the skipped status in your conditional logic is the recommended approach to ensure execution.

Pass the reused build ID to App Store submission.

When get_production_build returns a build_id, build_production is skipped. EAS also skips dependent jobs unless their condition handles the skipped dependency. Add both jobs to needs, allow submission when either output contains a build ID, and pass that available ID to upload_to_app_store_connect.
