Help with building iOS and Android Standalone App

How to / Third Party Tooling
1

Hi, I have been developing an application using expo for a while now and wanted to build standalone iOS and Android apps to move forward.

I got the build by running
expo build:ios -t simulator

But when I try to open the application on my iOS simulator, it crashes instantly.

Here is my crash report. Please help.

Any idea anyone?

This is the relevant part of your error message.

Deep linking necessarily works differently in Expo Go vs. a standalone app. Have a look through the Linking docs and post an update about what you’ve tried if it still doesn’t work.
