Building standalone iOS app

[pyankoff]

Hi! I'm trying to build a standalone app, but having trouble with configure step of the process. Running:

gulp ios-shell-app --url MYURL --action configure --type archive --archivePath ../shellAppBase-archive/Exponent.xcarchive --sdkVersion 10.0.0

Getting the following error:

Modifying config files under /Users/andrey/hack/exapp/shellAppBase-archive/Exponent.xcarchive...
/Users/andrey/hack/exapp/shellAppBase-archive/Exponent.xcarchive/EXShell.plist: file does not exist or is not readable or is not a regular file (Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “EXShell.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Users/andrey/hack/exapp/shellAppBase-archive/Exponent.xcarchive/EXShell.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fdf57d00c70 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}})

[22:08:07] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/andrey/hack/exapp/shellAppBase-archive/Exponent.xcarchive/EXShell.json'
    at Error (native)

Same command works when I run in on shellAppBase-builds/simulator/Release/Exponent.app, but how to make it work with archive I can submit to App Store?

Thank you!

Seems like I figured it out. Made it work by running configure on an Exponent.app file which is inside Exponent.xcarchive file.

This happened to me today after detaching an Expo project and changing the name of the project in exp.json. It seems the path to EXShell.plist is determined using the project name in Detach.js. I resolved by changing the project name back, but would be nice if there was better support for renaming a project in exp.json after detaching.

I got the same trouble just like @lyahdav . I also changed the 'name' in exp.json file before detaching an Expo project.

I am also experiencing same issue as @lyahdav I have a detached Expo app and when I try changing the name of the app in app.json file and then publish I get this error. Is there any fix for this?

In the ejected version you can do this.

ExpoKit: To change the name of your app, edit the "Display Name" field in Xcode and the app_name string in android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml.
