- Around line 24-118: Remove the repeated "EAS Build Setup" block and its
repeated subsections ("iOS Provisioning", "Android Keystore", "Build Profiles")
so only the first occurrence remains; locate the duplicate headings titled "EAS
Build Setup" and delete the second and third copies (including their following
"iOS Provisioning", "Android Keystore", and "Build Profiles" lists) to eliminate
duplicate headings and invalidate anchor warnings.
- Around line 5-22: The TOC contains links to missing sections; add placeholder
headings for each referenced section name (Release Process, Release Checklist,
App Store Submission, Versioning Strategy, Environment Configuration, Rollback
Procedures, Changelog Generation, Web Deployment, GitHub Pages, Netlify, CI/CD
Pipeline, Troubleshooting Guide) into the document so the anchors resolve
(create stub H2/H3 headings with a short one-line placeholder under each), or
alternatively remove the corresponding TOC entries if you prefer not to include
stubs; update headings exactly using those section titles so the markdown
anchors match the TOC links.

TOC links are broken because sections are missing.
The Table of Contents references sections that don’t exist in the document (Release Process, Environment Configuration, Rollback Procedures, Changelog Generation, Web Deployment, CI/CD Pipeline, Troubleshooting). This breaks navigation and doesn’t meet the doc requirements from issue #22. Please add those sections (even as stubs) or remove the links.
📌 Suggested minimal fix (add placeholder headings)

| ## EAS Build Setup | ||
|
|
||
| EAS (Expo Application Services) is used to build and sign the ThumbCode application for both iOS and Android. The configuration is defined in the `eas.json` file. | ||
|
|
||
| ### iOS Provisioning | ||
|
|
||
| EAS handles iOS provisioning (certificates and profiles) automatically. When you run a build for the first time, EAS CLI will prompt you to log in to your Apple Developer account and create the necessary credentials. | ||
|
|
||
| The `eas.json` file uses environment variables to link to the correct Apple account and app: | ||
|
|
||
| - `EXPO_APPLE_ID`: Your Apple ID email. | ||
| - `EXPO_ASC_APP_ID`: Your App Store Connect App ID. | ||
| - `EXPO_APPLE_TEAM_ID`: Your Apple Developer Team ID. | ||
|
|
||
| These variables should be set in your local environment or as secrets in your CI/CD environment. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Android Keystore | ||
|
|
||
| Similar to iOS, EAS manages the Android keystore. When you first build for Android, EAS generates a new keystore or lets you upload an existing one. This keystore is then stored securely by Expo and used for all subsequent builds. | ||
|
|
||
| The `eas.json` file uses an environment variable for the service account key to submit the app to the Play Store: | ||
|
|
||
| - `EXPO_ANDROID_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_PATH`: Path to your Google Cloud service account JSON key. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Build Profiles | ||
|
|
||
| The `eas.json` file defines three build profiles: | ||
|
|
||
| - **`development`**: Used for creating development clients. It's configured to build an internal distribution with a development client enabled. For Android, it builds an `.apk` file. | ||
| - **`preview`**: Used for creating preview builds for internal testing. It's configured for internal distribution and includes simulator builds for iOS. For Android, it also builds an `.apk` file. | ||
| - **`production`**: Used for creating production builds for App Store and Google Play. | ||

Remove duplicate “EAS Build Setup” sections.
The same section is repeated three times, which also triggers duplicate-heading warnings and invalidates anchor links. Keep a single copy and delete the repeats to avoid confusion.
🧹 Suggested fix (keep the first block, delete the duplicates)
