How to build .ipa application for react-native-ios? [closed]

Question

I would try "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41970435" But I'cant get .ipa file.

Can any one explain how to get the .ipa file?

Answer 1

1. Get the .app file:

    react-native run-ios --configuration=release 

2. .app file path Build/Products/Release/"<Your_Filename>.app".

3. Convert .app to .ipa :

   • Create folder Payload.
   • paste .app file into Payload folder.
   • compress the Payload folder.
   • change the name you want and put extension as .ipa.

Answer 2

• Delete localhost item from info.plist

  App transport security settings -> Exception domains

• Bundle ios

  react-native bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --assets-dest ios 

• In Xcode

  Products->Scheme->Edit scheme -> Change build configuration to RELEASE

• In AppDelegate.m 

  Replace

  jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil]; 

  with

  #ifdef DEBUG   jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index" fallbackResource:nil]; #else   jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"]; #endif 

• Change device -> Generic iOS device

• Product -> Clean

• Product -> Build

• .app file can be found at

  ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<app name>/Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/<appname> 

• Create folder Payload.


• Paste .app file into Payload folder.


• Compress the Payload folder.


• Change the name you want and put extension as .ipa
