How to build Expo APK local

Question

Is it possible to build the APK of an expo app locally?

The doc says:

If you haven’t used exp before, the first thing you’ll need to do is login with your Expo account using exp login.

I tried exp start, exp build:android but the commands require a login.

I don't want to build the APK using expo server. Is there a way to run this build locally? So no login and push of source code required?

If not, can I view the whole source code of the generated APK?

New to the party, so guessing this wasn't available at the time of the post - Instructions for building expo apps locally: Building Standalone Apps on Your CI
