Local iOS release (no EAS)

Archive and upload beenvoice to App Store Connect using Xcode on your Mac — no Expo Application Services (EAS) subscription required.

Prerequisites

macOS with Xcode (same major version you use for development)
Apple Developer Program membership
App record in App Store Connect with bundle ID com.beenvoice.app
Distribution signing set up in Xcode (automatic signing + team is enough for most cases)
App Store Connect API key (for upload only)

One-time setup

cd beenvoice-app
cp .ios-release.env.example .ios-release.env

Edit .ios-release.env:

Variable	Where to find it
`APPLE_TEAM_ID`	developer.apple.com/account → Membership → Team ID
`APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_ID`	App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → Keys
`APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_ISSUER_ID`	Same page (Issuer ID at top)
`APP_STORE_CONNECT_API_KEY_PATH`	Path to downloaded `AuthKey_XXXXXX.p8`
`EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL`	Production API URL baked into the release bundle

Optional: store the .p8 in ~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys/ (never commit it).

Open the iOS project once in Xcode and confirm Signing & Capabilities succeeds for targets beenvoice and ExpoWidgetsTarget.

Commands

# Archive + export signed IPA to dist/ios-release/export/
bun run ios:release

# Archive + export + upload to App Store Connect (TestFlight)
bun run ios:release:upload

Flags (pass through to the script)

bash scripts/ios-release.sh --archive-only          # .xcarchive only
bash scripts/ios-release.sh --export-only --upload  # re-upload existing archive
bash scripts/ios-release.sh --no-prebuild           # skip expo prebuild
bash scripts/ios-release.sh --no-bump               # don't increment build number

With IOS_BUMP_BUILD=1 in .ios-release.env, each run bumps CFBundleVersion via agvtool (recommended for repeated TestFlight uploads).

What the script does

expo prebuild --platform ios (unless --no-prebuild)
pod install
Optional build-number bump (agvtool)
xcodebuild archive (Release, generic iOS device)
xcodebuild -exportArchive → App Store IPA
xcrun altool --upload-app (with --upload only)

Artifacts land in dist/ios-release/ (gitignored).

After upload

App Store Connect → TestFlight — wait for “Processing” to finish
Smoke-test on device
Submit for App Store review when ready

See also APP_STORE_CONNECT.md for metadata, screenshots, and review notes.

Notes

Dev client: expo-dev-client is in the native project today. Store builds still work, but the binary includes the dev client shell. For a slimmer production binary, remove that plugin and re-run prebuild before release (or maintain a separate app.config variant).
Manual upload: After bun run ios:release, drag the IPA into Apple’s Transporter app instead of using --upload.
CI: Run the same script on a Mac runner (GitHub macos-latest, etc.) with secrets injected as env vars instead of .ios-release.env.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
No signing certificate	Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Download Manual Profiles; or open project and enable automatic signing
`pod install` fails	`cd ios && pod repo update && pod install`
Upload auth error	Verify API key has Developer access; check Key ID, Issuer ID, and `.p8` path
Duplicate build number	Enable `IOS_BUMP_BUILD=1` or bump `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` in Xcode
Widget extension signing	Both beenvoice and ExpoWidgetsTarget need the same team
