The following assumes that you are on mac os, the js dependencies are downloaded and that your ios native part is in the subdirectory ios

With Pods

  • Download the ios dependencies: From the ios/ directory in you repo execute pod install
  • Open the xcodeworkspace (in the ios subdirectory) in xcode

Without Pods

  • Open the xcodeproject (in the ios subdirectory) in xcode

General

  1. Change the Scheme to Release
    1. Go to Product>Scheme>Edit Scheme
    2. Select the Run Stage
    3. Select Release as Build Configuraiton
    4. Deselect Debug executable
  2. Change the Target Device to Generic iOS Device (This is the field where you usually select the simulator your app should be run on)
  3. Build/Archive your app (Click on Product>Archive)
