Ejected expo build without metro

Hi,

I have used expo eject and trying to build for my iOS device with Xcode directly.
It does work when selecting Product → Run.

But, it launches a Metro server the app which is built on the device is depdend on the JS file which is stored remotely.

How can I build with an ejected project without having a metro builder running? something with a minified JS build into the code?

Hey @danomano214, you can use the react-native cli to handle this if you want. For example, the command npx react-native run-ios --configuration Release --no-packager will build a release binary without starting the packager. If you want to build for a physical device, you can add the --device flag to the command above.

Cheers,
Adam
