Hey @jpcoder, just for clarification are you hosting your JS bundle on your own server or are you making use of expo publish to send the JS bundle to the CDN? Either way, as long as you have published or made your own server active and it’s serving the JS bundle, your iOS binary should pick it up.
I don’t want to update the application. I have disabled ota updates in an attempt to avoid that request, but it has not worked. I just want to build the iOS app without using the expo servers, that is why I am using turtle-cli directly with a local server as I mentioned before
that’s fine but you didn’t answer my question at all
can you give more context on what the request you are observing is, how you’re observing it, and whether your app is updating or not?
i am trying to understand what the request you are observing is and how you are testing for it. and lastly, whether your app has the desired behavior of not updating. this allows me to understand:
whether you get at least in part the desired behavior of your app not updating
what the network request actually is, its contents, and where its coming from
oh i see the original image now. i agree i would expect that when updates.enabled is false that we would not be attempting to connect to the manifest endpoint, i think it is worth posting an issue to Issues · expo/expo · GitHub explaining this use case, or opening a pull request to expo-updates to fix it.
you can alternatively eject your project and build it, that should work fine for your purposes.
