NOTES
🔵 We look at how to generate iOS builds for the Apple App Store and iOS Simulators with a Mac.
🔵 Also, for Android, we'll look at generating Android App bundles (.aab) for the Google Play Store and APK builds which are easily shareable.
🔵 All the builds are generated in the cloud using eas-cli from Expo.
🔵 The approach used will work for expo based projects and bare react native projects as well.

Yes sir, i was getting an error during the configuration stage.. needed to initialize an eas command.
But yea, got the file and doing internal testing

[@harshratnani7212]

i tried same method for ios simulator but its getting error of main js bundle does not exist how can i solve this ?

[@rickcode22]

Awesome Video! is there any way to easily share your app with your testers in the real device? instead of downloading and checking it in the simulator? Like metro bundler a few years ago. Thanks!

[@ToThePointCode]

There are a few ways I can think of now;
- On Android, you can download the resulting APK file and share.
- Also, you can use the expo publish approach to make the app accessible through the Expo Go App on both iOS and Android.
- If you have already created the app on the App Store, you can use TestFlight and PlayStore internal testing.

I can't build it says "gradle build failed with unknown error. see logs for the "run gradlew" phase for more information."

You have no team associated with your Apple account, cannot proceed.
(Do you have a paid Apple Developer account?)
even tho the infos are correct what does this mean ?

[@wasimbadsha4342]

useful information for eas-cli approach for expo app builds. 👌👌Love from KL,IN 🇮🇳 🫰🫰

[@ToThePointCode]

Thank you

[@theadityadeshpande]

Great video!! I want to test my React native app on IOS simultor as well, can you share how to run it on windows PC ?

[@ToThePointCode]

The easiest way to run the iOS simulator is on macOS. Otherwise you need an actual iOS device

[@theadityadeshpande]

@@ToThePointCode Is there any way I can run IOS build on windows?

[@calpardo]

@@theadityadeshpande no

[@sharadchoudhary3865]

Why I have to run dev-client server to run my app; when I downloaded the apk. Can you Please tell how to run my apk like normal app

[@ToThePointCode]

You don't need to. Unless you built the apk using the development profile.

[@sangitaelango9361]

Thanks for the video. I have a problem when installing the app on ios. It says "No Bundle url present". do you know how to solve this? Any help is much appreciated.

[@ToThePointCode]

Is your project bare react native or expo based?

[@sangitaelango9361]

@@ToThePointCode my project is expo based.

[@harveerSingh-iy9xz]

Recheck the dependencies you have paired with expo/react native
I have faced the same due to incompatible dependencies with react native. Ensure that you pair the compatible dependencies with project
You can view the dependencies in package.json file

[@luisbrazilva]

I would like to see an eas submit to google play store tutorial. No one that I can find has done one yet. Or at least an android submission from the Google Play Store that addresses the 20 testers dilemma. How is anyone finding 20 people to test your app for 14 days continuously

[@omerkilincc]

Hello, I am trying to compile for iOS with Expo, but I constantly encounter "install pods" errors, can you help?

[@vaultofmyths]

If you are on Windows, you can't build for ios locally, if you're on mac then you just need to follow the expo mac environment setup guide and you're good.

[@omerkilincc]

@@vaultofmythsThank you for your answer. But I'm getting these problems on Mac. Even though I made all the installations, there are no errors during testing, but it gives pods errors during compilation.

Im login apple id and error:

[@verixer4032]

you need a paid dev account to build buddy, he already stated that like twice in the video

[@dancruz7845]

Android build works fine.. but iOS always fails and I get this error: The "Run fastlane" step failed with an unknown error.

[@polentaibife]

did you find a solution for this?

[@ooyey]

Do i need macOS for building ios using eas !?

[@ToThePointCode]

No you don't.
