Hi. I don’t have access to a macOS and I was wondering if there were any clever ways to upload a built .ipa to the App Store on Windows. After researching, I’ve heard that being able to upload an .ipa through Expo servers is somewhere on the roadmap - is this true? How is progress?
There’s the “use-submission-service” option in the documentation - but this is only for android and not iOS yet, right?
The only other idea I have is to upload the .ipa via a cloud service like macincloud. But that’s definitely a hassle everytime I want to update the app. Are there any other ways around this?
android uploads were released a few days ago and work on ios didn’t start yet. We definitely plan to support it, but we don’t have a timeline for that, I can’t say anything more specific than “most likely this year”
You can upload from amcincloud once and use OTA updates for everything.
You can upload from CI job that runs on macos
There are services that will upload ipa for you, but some of them look a bit sketchy, so you need to be careful if you go this way.
