So I ejected from Expo to ExpoKit by running expo --eject . I was then able to go to the generated ios folder and ran pod install to set up the iOS app. I then opened the .xcworkspace file in XCode and was able to run the app successfully.
My only confusion is with creating a standalone iOS app ( .ipa file). I understand that I can’t use expo build:ios anymore to do that… but I basically have the app running in XCode and Simulator though… so is it already a standalone app? If so, what do I need to do to get an .ipa file from this so I can push it to TestFlight?
It seems that doing the Archive action causes a couple of errors…
No account for team “C8XXXXX339”. Add a new account in the Accounts preference pane or verify that your accounts have valid credentials. (in target ‘myapp’)
and
No profiles for ‘com.myapp.myappname’ were found: Xcode couldn’t find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching ‘com.myapp.myappname’. (in target ‘myapp’)
Which is weird because I didn’t seem to run into these problems when I had done expo build:ios… I’ll have to look into it
