> ⚡ **Drastically speed up your `npx expo run:android` or `npx expo run:ios` builds!**

`expo-build-disk-cache` enables **local disk caching** for Expo builds.  
When a cached build is available, it launches almost instantly — skipping the usual compilation step.

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Requirements

- Expo SDK 53+

### Installation

```bash
npm install --save-dev expo-build-disk-cache
```

### Add to Your App Config

#### Expo SDK 54+

```jsonc
{
  "buildCacheProvider": {
    "plugin": "expo-build-disk-cache"
  }
}
```

#### Expo SDK 53

```jsonc
{
  "experiments": {
    "buildCacheProvider": {
      "plugin": "expo-build-disk-cache"
    }
  }
}
```

> ⚠️ Only `expo run:android` / `expo run:ios` use Expo's build cache provider. Builds run via `expo prebuild` + Gradle/Xcode/Fastlane/EAS are not cached ([#24](https://github.com/WookieFPV/expo-build-disk-cache/issues/24)).

---

See the full [Configuration Guide](./Configuration.md) for advanced options, cache cleanup, CI setup, and remote caching.

## 📦 Releases

This repo uses Changesets.

1. For any user-facing package change, run `bun run changeset` and commit the generated file in `.changeset/`.
2. When changesets reach `main`, GitHub Actions opens or updates a release PR with the version bump and generated `CHANGELOG.md`.
3. Merge that release PR to publish to npm.
