a0.dev · Preview to store ship
Web preview on react-native-web is a lab until native IPA/APK paths, App Store Connect Deployment under org accounts, and OTA within a pinned runtime all answer without the a0 chat. Keep the screens the agent already proved. Stop treating a green preview panel as the release bar.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
To-production here means Bundle IDs, OTA runtime version, and Convex/Supabase secrets pin to accounts you control, and the primary journey completes on store or owned web with secrets injected outside the a0 preview shell. Web preview stays a studio option. A short note that people can trust the ship path is.
What living on a0 web preview still hides
That is the right first job. The second job is what users feel when payments fail on device or OTA drifts from the shipped runtime — whether you wrote it down or not.
Those need mobile testing or native IPA/APK builds.
Keys that only exist in project settings are not a safe home. Rotate anything that lived there.
Production answers: which binary is live, which runtime OTA targets, what checks passed, and how to undo.
Owned EAS/CI beats panel submit when rollback and second-engineer deploys matter.
The handoff we actually run
Keep the screens. Stop relying on an untested web preview to run the app.
01
Document which model production uses — a0 Deployment vs owned EAS.
02
Fresh values. Named in a vault. Fail closed when missing.
03
Second person can release a known Expo tree.
04
Signup → session → write. Prior binary / OTA channel ready.
How to
Own native builds, secrets, and store accounts. First useful ship — not a full exit.
Step 01
Panel secrets, a0-only Deployment, preview deep-link schemes.
Step 02
Runtime pinned in Build Settings.
Step 03
Production schemes and product IDs only.
Step 04
OTA stays within the shipped runtime.
Step 05
Document which model production uses.

Web preview proves the prompt-to-app renders on react-native-web. It does not prove camera, biometrics, push, or payments work; those need mobile testing or native IPA/APK builds. It also does not prove you own App Store Connect Deployment, can rotate Convex/Supabase secrets without every collaborator opening a0, or can ship OTA without the chat panel.
Runtime version in Build Settings must match the binary you will ship; OTA only works within that runtime. Apple Developer / App Store Connect must sit under org accounts with Bundle ID and Team ID aligned. Convex or Supabase credentials must map to production projects — not preview defaults. Deep links and payment setup must list only production schemes and product IDs you own.
Use a0’s Deployment dashboard while iteration risk is acceptable — and budget platform lock-in explicitly. Prefer an owned Expo/EAS or CI path from source you control when rollback, second-engineer deploys, and vendor reviews matter. Document which model production uses so on-call does not discover “only Deploy in a0 works” during a launch spike.
Run signup → session → write on a native build or production web path with production Convex/Supabase secrets. Confirm OTA stays within the shipped runtime version, payments fail closed when env is wrong, and closing the a0 chat does not stop the live binary. If those hold, the prompt-shaped UX stays, and the app no longer depends on web preview.
Bring native build status, who holds App Store Connect, and whether OTA matches the shipped runtime. We put owned ship last — and we name the preview path you can roll back to.
