How do I deploy the react native project?

I am currently stuck on the process of understanding of deployment. I have react native application which uses Appwrite to fetch data from database, create, and authorize.
I didn't find explicit answer on the topic of deployment of mobile application. I am ready to publish application to AppStore, however do I need to deploy Appwrite backend to cloud hosting server, if so where can I learn about this. Or I don't need to think about it because Appwrite is self-hosting. I hope my question is clear.
Thank you.
