iOS build issues - again

managed workflow

lwhite@LarrysMBP16 aurus-lab-app % eas -v
eas-cli/0.52.0 darwin-x64 node-v16.15.0

“react-native”: “0.68.2”,

Well I had a single working build but now I get an ipa I have to make a zip which I can extract but the resulting ipa says it needs to be upgraded to work with the simulator

I must admit so far I am not in love with the new build system.

Is there a comprehensive migration guide from classic builds?

there is a bit of work initially to get moved over but expo build is far more limited and inflexible in comparison

as for running your build in simulator: Building for iOS simulators - Expo Documentation

this is my eas.json and I get something unusable

{
  "build": {
    "development": {
      "developmentClient": true,
      "distribution": "internal",
      "ios": {
        "simulator": true,
        "image":"latest"
      }
    },
    "preview": {
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "production": {}
  },
  "cli": {
    "version": ">= 0.52.0"
  }
}

can you provide a link to the build page and also some more information on what exactly you’re seeing? the only builds i see associated with the pelicaneng account are for production

Download (which is an ipa and I change it to zip to unpack)

Simulator:

that is a production build, you need to use the simulator profile if you want to build for the simulator. eas build -p ios --profile simulator

notice the “production” profile on that build page and the “iOS App Store build” heading:

simulator build pages will look more like this:

ok reconfigured and I will try it
