How to create a .ipa file on windows without Xcode and without an Apple Developer Account

I want to know how I can convert an app I wrote to a .ipa file. My app is written in react native, but I can't afford the Apple Developer Account to convert my app to a .ipa file using Expo. If possible, I want a solution that can convert an app written in any language or the popular ones.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

With expo you can create ipa using this command:

exp build:ios

Follow this latest documentation of expo.. you just need to change your app.json file as they mention.

Expo latest documentation for generating apk & ipa

Step 1: install exp:  npm install -g exp
Step 2: configure app.json file
Step 3: exp build:android or exp build:ios

Note: for .ipa you should know your apple ID and password: once you start building expo ask you for your apple ID n password

? How would you like to upload your credentials? Expo handles all credentials, you can still provide overrides

We need your Apple ID/password to manage certificates and provisioning profiles from your Apple Developer account.

Note: Expo does not keep your Apple ID or your Apple password.

? What's your Apple ID?
