# GitHub Actions Build Artifacts
## Overview
Reusable GitHub Actions patterns to build React Native apps for iOS simulators and Android emulators in the cloud, then publish artifacts retrievable via `gh` CLI or GitHub API.
## When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- Creating CI workflows that build React Native simulator/emulator artifacts.
- Uploading iOS simulator and Android emulator installables from PRs or manual dispatch runs.
- Replacing local-only mobile builds with downloadable CI artifacts.
- Needing stable artifact IDs/names for scripted retrieval with `gh` or REST API.
## Quick Reference
1. Add composite actions from [gha-ios-composite-action.md][gha-ios-composite-action] and [gha-android-composite-action.md][gha-android-composite-action].
2. Wire them into `.github/workflows/mobile-build.yml` from [gha-workflow-and-downloads.md][gha-workflow-and-downloads].
3. Upload with `actions/upload-artifact@v4` and capture `artifact-id` output.
4. Download with `gh run download` or `GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/artifacts/{artifact_id}/{archive_format}`.

| [gha-android-composite-action.md][gha-android-composite-action] | Composite `action.yml` for Android emulator `.apk` builds and artifact upload |

## Problem -> Skill Mapping
| Problem | Start With |
|---------|------------|
| Need CI iOS simulator `.app.tar.gz` artifact | [gha-ios-composite-action.md][gha-ios-composite-action] |
| Need CI Android emulator `.apk` artifact | [gha-android-composite-action.md][gha-android-composite-action] |
| Need one workflow to trigger both platform jobs | [gha-workflow-and-downloads.md][gha-workflow-and-downloads] |
| Need scripted artifact download | [gha-workflow-and-downloads.md][gha-workflow-and-downloads] |

Actions Manager
GitHub Actions command center -- view workflow runs, read logs, re-run failed jobs, manage workflows, and debug CI failures entirely from the editor. Bypasses the deeply nested, visually-dependent Actions UI that is largely inaccessible to screen readers.

Alz Accelerator
Deploy Azure Landing Zones using the ALZ Accelerator with AVM (Azure Verified Modules). Use this skill whenever the user mentions Azure Landing Zones, ALZ, Azure landing zone accelerator, AVM modules for landing zones, deploying management groups, hub-and-spoke networking, Virtual WAN, platform landing zones, or asks about Bicep vs Terraform for Azure infrastructure. Also trigger when the user wants to bootstrap CI/CD for Azure platform deployment, set up management groups hierarchy, or deploy connectivity/identity/management platform subscriptions.
