Unable to Detach project for IOS

Expo SDK
1

Hello,

I am trying to detach the application, by following steps in url ‘https://docs.expo.io/versions/v19.0.0/guides/detach.html’
below logs I got on my console

D:\Mayuri\evosus\evo-mobileservice>exp login
? You are already logged in as ************. Log in as new user? No

D:\Mayuri\evosus\evo-mobileservice>exp detach

Cleaning up Android...
There was an issue cleaning up, but your project should still work. You may need
 to manually remove D:\Mayuri\evosus\evo-mobileservice\temp-android-directory. (
Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir 'D:\Mayuri\evosus\evo-mobileservice
\temp-android-directory')
Android detach is complete!

Writing ExpoKit configuration...
Finished detaching your project! Look in the `android` and `ios` directories for
 the respective native projects. Follow the ExpoKit guide at https://docs.expo.i
o/versions/latest/guides/expokit.html to get your project running.

I don’t see ios folder to be created in my project as per console logs. Let me know, how can I solve it.

My package.json content is as below.

"dependencies": {
    "@expo/samples": "^2.0.2",
    "expo": "^19.0.0",
    "fast-html-parser": "^1.0.1",
    "firebase": "^4.2.0",
    "moment": "^2.18.1",
    "node-libs-react-native": "^1.0.1",
    "pako": "^1.0.5",
    "react": "16.0.0-alpha.12",
    "react-addons-update": "^15.6.0",
    "react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-19.0.0.tar.gz",

Hi, it didn’t install an iOS project because you’re not running macOS, as the console output says.

3

How do I get the ios folder now?

4

@ben if I still want ios folder to be there, as later I have to build for ios too, how to bring this ios folder using exp detach?

Can I run exp detach later when I am in macos or linux?

5

Will it create an issue if I have to run the app on an iphone?

6

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this @singhalok641?

If you want to build for iOS, you’ll need to get your hands on a Mac either in-person or renting from the cloud.

Cheers,

Adam

Thanks @adamjnav
Will I need a mac during the developing process too ?

A detached app creates an Xcode project which requires a Mac to compile and run unless you use a third-party build service, which still uses a Mac most likely.
