Local builds

Notes to myself on how to build locally and run the build on the simulator. Beats waiting for cloud builds.

1. Run npx eas build --non-interactive --platform ios --profile simulator --local. You will need to install Xcode if you haven't already. Same for CocoaPods.
2. The build step produces a tarball, unzip it to get NWAC.app
3. Drag NWAC.app into the simulator

Now, running a local build on an actual device. Much more of a pain in the ass. Links:

• https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/ios-builds/
• https://docs.expo.dev/build/internal-distribution/
• https://developer.apple.com/

1. You'll need an Apple ID tied to the NWAC org
2. You'll need to install Xcode and CocoaPods
3. Add your device to the ad-hoc provisioning profile (eas device:create). Optionally give it a better name (eas device:rename).
4. Run the build: npx eas build --platform ios --profile adhoc --local. Don't use --non-interactive, it'll prompt you to do various things.
5. Build should output an IPA, you can install it on a connected device via Xcode (Window -> Devices).
