We’re trying to do a PoC with Expo to determine if we can use our own existing Mac CI for builds. I understand there’s a --local
flag for eas build
, but the command seems like it really wants a production distribution certificate to build the app.
Two issues with this:
- At this point, I just want to build a development IPA (not to be confused with an Expo development build), not an App Store build.
- My Apple ID has access to the Xcode Cloud Managed certificate for production builds, but eas-cli doesn’t seem to be aware of this, and wants to generate a new cert. Our account already has the maximum number of production certs, so I cannot do this (and shouldn’t have to anyways).
Anybody have experience with building locally/in their own CI, and have any helpful info? Thanks!
