+# GitHub Actions CI/CD Setup for Friend Lite
+
+This sets up **automatic GitHub releases** with APK/IPA files whenever you push code.
+
+## 🚀 How This Works
+
+1. You push code to GitHub
+2. GitHub automatically builds **both Android APK and iOS IPA**
+3. **Creates GitHub Releases** with both files attached
+4. You download directly from the **Releases** tab!
+
+## 🎯 Quick Setup (2 Steps)
+
+### Step 1: Get Expo Token
+1. Go to [expo.dev](https://expo.dev) and sign in/create account
+2. Go to [Access Tokens](https://expo.dev/accounts/[account]/settings/access-tokens)
+3. Create a new token and copy it
+
+### Step 2: Add GitHub Secret
+1. In your GitHub repo: **Settings** → **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**
+2. Click **New repository secret**
+3. Name: `EXPO_TOKEN`
+4. Value: Paste your token from Step 1
+5. Click **Add secret**
+
+## ⚡ That's It!
