Xcode build ignores offline bundle, opens RN packager every time

I'm using RN 0.39 that I upgraded a while ago from an older version.

I want to build my application on my CI environment using xcodebuild.

First I run the RN-cli to get the offline bundle:

react-native bundle --platform ios --dev false --entry-file index.ios.js --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle

Then I'm simply run xcodebuild in the nimblest way possible:

xcodebuild -scheme MyAppScheme -configuration Release

No matter what schemes, targets or configurations, this always opens the RN Packager which I need to avoid in my CI environment.

The latest AppDelegate.m versions are supposed to pickup the offline bundle if it's present, I wonder why mine is not doing.

Any thoughts?

I do not believe the latest AppDelegate.m files pick up the bundled file, as I was using 0.41 and it was loading the server all the time.

I have this, which will dynamically pick up the server or local file, depending if you are running debug or release builds. (Make sure you have a pre compiled flag of DEBUG=1 in your xCode):

#if DEBUG
  jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index.ios" fallbackResource:nil];
#else
  jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
#endif
