Expo

Build an iOS Simulator .app in Expo

modify the build profile in eas.json and add the following waldo-ios profile:

{
  "build": {
    "waldo-ios": {
      "ios": {
        "simulator": true
      }
    },
    "production": {}
  }
}

now you can run the eas build command with that profile:

eas build -p ios --profile waldo-ios
# ✔ Build finished
# 🍎 iOS app:
# https://expo.dev/artifacts/eas/kYnbyzM6fHVmd9ytUZyN3b.tar.gz

download the .tar.gz file, extract it and voilà, you have your .app file!

      }
    },
