How to build ios app in non interactive mode (CI) with 2 factor authentication

Can you tell me how to use expo build:ios command in a CI environment

So far I’m running:

expo build:ios --non-interactive --no-wait --release-channel=test --apple-id=XXXXX --team-id=F7NE7X9ZFW

And the build fails as it requires 2 factor authentication:

- Making sure project is set up correctly...
[16:43:00] Checking if there is a build in progress...
[16:43:00] Trying to authenticate with Apple Developer Portal...
Two-factor Authentication (6 digits code) is enabled for account 'XXXXX'
More information about Two-factor Authentication: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915
If you're running this in a non-interactive session (e.g. server or CI)
check out https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/tree/master/spaceship#2-step-verification
...
Please enter the 6 digit code:
[16:43:02] Authentication with Apple Developer Portal failed!
[16:43:02] Reason: Unknown reason, raw: "The input stream is exhausted."

I’ve followed the link “If you’re running this in a non-interactive session (e.g. server or CI)
check out fastlane/spaceship at master · fastlane/fastlane · GitHub” but it seems these instructions aren’t coming from expo and I couldn’t find FASTLANE_SESSION mention along expo anywhere…

I’ve also asked on stackoverflow with more details: docker - Can you use "expo build:ios" on a CI environment with apple 2 factor authentication and how - Stack Overflow

I’ve posted my solution on the slack overflow thread: docker - Can you use "expo build:ios" on a CI environment with apple 2 factor authentication and how - Stack Overflow

Basically we run expo build:ios --clear-credentials locally with flags for all the necessary certificates, re-authenticated. And then on the CI pipeline we’re running expo login --non-interactive -u XXX followed by expo build:ios --non-interactive --no-wait without providing any apple credentials and it’s working so far
