expo build stuck on "Building iOS bundle"

Expo Development Tools

I’ve been trying to build for over an hour and a half. I’ve tried building several times. Here’s the output of the latest:

expo build:ios
Checking if there is a build in progress...

Building iOS bundle

Running expo build:status gives:

expo build:status
Fetching build history...

No currently active or previous builds for this project.

I’m not being given any reason for why it is stuck.
I checked Service Status — Standalone Builds — Expo and iOS builds do appear to be completing

Hey @gurs1kh,

Did this resolve for you? If not, can you let me know the Build ID for the stuck build?

Cheers,
Adam

I can seem to build now, but it appears the build is invalid when I run expo upload:ios:

ERROR ITMS-90596: "Invalid Bundle. The asset catalog at 'Payload/ExpoKitApp.app/Assets.car' can't be processed. Rebuild your app, and all included extensions and frameworks, with the latest GM version of Xcode and resubmit."
Return status of iTunes Transporter was 1: ERROR ITMS-90596: "Invalid Bundle. The asset catalog at 'Payload/ExpoKitApp.app/Assets.car' can't be processed. Rebuild your app, and all included extensions and frameworks, with the latest GM version of Xcode and resubmit."
The call to the iTMSTransporter completed with a non-zero exit status: 1. This indicates a failure.
Failed to upload the standalone app to the app store.
Error uploading ipa file, for more information see above

What be done about this?

Additional info:

"expo": "^32.0.0",
"react": "16.5.0",
"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-32.0.0.tar.gz",

What version of Xcode are you running? If it’s not 10+, you’ll want to update.

Thanks, that helped.
Last issue now is that after installing the app from TestFlight, I’m getting this error:
Unhandled JS Exception: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication)

Update: I resolved the issue by running expo start --no-dev --minify which gave a more specific error message.
Thanks for all your help @adamjnav and the rest of the Expo team!

Happy to hear you got it figured out! Whenever you get this type of error - Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication) - it indicates that a JS error occurred that prevents the app from even doing the initial pass through executing code such that it’s able to run AppRegistry.registerApplication.
