## Builder IP addresses

Here is the [up-to-date list of builder IP addresses](https://expo.dev/eas-build-worker-ips.txt).

## Configuring build environment

Images for each platform have one specific version of Node.js, yarn, CocoaPods, Xcode, Ruby, Fastlane, and so on. You can override some of the versions in [eas.json](/build/eas-json).
If there is no dedicated configuration option you're looking for, you can use [npm hooks](npm-hooks) to install or update any system dependencies with `apt-get` or `brew`. Please consider that those customizations are applied during the build and will increase your build times.

When selecting an image for the build you can use the full name provided below or one of the aliases: `default`, `latest`.

- The use of a specific name guarantees the consistent environment with only minor updates.
- `default` alias will be assigned to the environment that most closely resembles the configuration used for Expo SDK development.
- `latest` alias will be assigned to the image with the most up to date versions of the software.

> **info** **Note:** If you do not provide `image` in **eas.json**, your build will use `default` image. However, in some cases, we select a more appropriate image based on the Expo SDK version or React Native version.
> You can check what image is used for a build in the "Spin up build environment" build logs section.

## Android build server configurations

Android builders run on virtual machines in an isolated environment. Every build gets its own dedicated VM instance.

- Hardware:

  <HardwareList platform="android" />

- [npm cache deployed with Kubernetes](caching/#javascript-dependencies)
- [Maven cache deployed with Kubernetes](caching/#android-dependencies)
- Global Gradle configuration in **~/.gradle/gradle.properties**:

  ```ini ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
  org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx14g -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
  org.gradle.parallel=true
  org.gradle.configureondemand=true
  org.gradle.daemon=false
  ```

- Global npm configuration in **~/.npmrc**:

  ```ini ~/.npmrc
  registry=http://npm-cache-service.worker-infra-production.svc.cluster.local:4873
  ```

- Global Yarn configuration in **~/.yarnrc.yml**:

  ```yml ~/.yarnrc.yml
  unsafeHttpWhitelist:
    - '*'
  npmRegistryServer: 'http://npm-cache-service.worker-infra-production.svc.cluster.local:4873'
  enableImmutableInstalls: false
  ```
