This is a guide on how to build the iOS version of the app for production. It is based on this guide:

• https://docs.expo.dev/guides/local-app-production/#ios

Commands

Run the following commands to build the iOS version:

1. Install dependecies

Assuming you are on the root of the repo, start from here:

cd ./client
rm -r ./node_modules
rm -r ./ios
pnpm install

And add EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL=<api base url> to .env file.

2. Generate ios build directory

First generate the ios directory by running the application directly into the attached device:

npx expo run:ios --device

Then (needed?):

npx expo prebuild --clean
