## For Pablo: App Store Deployment Guide

### Step 1: Create Developer Accounts

1. **Apple Developer Program** - $99/year
- Go to https://developer.apple.com/programs/
- Enroll as individual or organization
- Wait for approval (usually 24-48 hours)

2. **Google Play Console** - $25 one-time
- Go to https://play.google.com/console
- Pay registration fee
- Complete account setup

### Step 2: Create Expo Account

```bash
# Create account at expo.dev, then login
cd pablo-mobile
npx eas login
```

### Step 3: Configure App Credentials

**For iOS (update `eas.json`):**
```json
{
"submit": {
"production": {
"ios": {
"appleId": "your@email.com",
"ascAppId": "YOUR_APP_STORE_CONNECT_APP_ID",
"appleTeamId": "YOUR_TEAM_ID"
}
}
}
}
```

**For Android:**
- Create a service account in Google Cloud Console
- Download JSON key file
- Save as `pablo-mobile/google-services.json`

### Step 4: Create App Icons

Replace default icons in `pablo-mobile/assets/`:
- `icon.png` - 1024x1024 (app icon)
- `adaptive-icon.png` - 1024x1024 (Android adaptive)
- `splash-icon.png` - 1284x2778 (splash screen)
- `favicon.png` - 48x48 (web)

Tools: Figma, Canva, or https://icon.kitchen

### Step 5: Build for App Stores

```bash
cd pablo-mobile

# Build for iOS (requires Apple Developer account)
npx eas build --platform ios --profile production

# Build for Android (Play Store AAB)
npx eas build --platform android --profile production

# Build Android APK (for testing)
npx eas build --platform android --profile preview
```

### Step 6: Submit to Stores

```bash
# Submit to App Store (after build completes)
npx eas submit --platform ios

# Submit to Play Store (after build completes)
npx eas submit --platform android
```

### Step 7: Store Listing Content

**App Name:** No, YOU Pick!
**Subtitle:** AI Restaurant Picker

## Troubleshooting

### "No restaurants found"

- Try "Any" cuisine instead of specific type
- Increase radius to 15 or 30 miles
- Check if location is valid (try a major city)

### Mobile app won't connect

- Verify phone has internet connection
- Check that Cloud Run API is healthy: https://noupick-api-246498703732.us-central1.run.app/health
- Try restarting Expo Go app

### EAS build fails

- Run `npx eas whoami` to verify login
- Check `app.json` bundle ID matches developer account
- For iOS: ensure Apple Developer account is active
