Why, after the expo build:android command, the version was automatically included in the release in google play and in the app store?

Question

React Native

In fact, I made some changes.
Launched the command
expo build:android
And that's it.
After a while, I watch an update from the play store.
Why?
After all, I did not upload at all, neither through the expo upload: command, nor manually uploading via web.
It's the same with the app store.

in this case, the build command also executes publish and your changes are published to the current build unless OTA is disabled.
You can turn them off , but they can be useful for minor edits :)
when it build:androidstarts publish, which applies to both platforms
Alternatively, use the publication channels, for example:
and for the beta version
In this case, if your friends will have a release build with prod-100 , and you test and send prod-101 to beta, this update will not come to them.
As soon as you release the beta to release, your friends will also get a build with the prod-101 channel
, respectively, you can send OTA updates using
expo publish --release-channel prod-101
