How can I publish to the Apple app store my expo application?

I have finished to write a react-native application written with the help of expo SDK and I want to build my final .apk and .ipa for testing them with real devices.

During the development, I have used one iPhone 6 and one Galaxy S9 real devices using the expo application.

So far, I managed to build from Debian the signed apk but I didn't find a way to get an .ipa from my Debian linux system.

I can't have xcode installed but if needed I can rent a mac online and submit the ipa from there.

I have already followed those guides:

This guy says:

Is it possible…sure. The only thing a Mac is needed for is XCode for actually uploading your IPA to AppStore. I do not own a MAC personally, so I rent an online one via MacInCloud.

What are the steps to build an .ipa on expo?

This is super simple if you are using the managed workflow (not sure if this is the case?).

expo build:ios

You will then get a link which will allow you to download the .ipa once it has been built on the expo servers.

Open your MacInCloud mac, download the .ipa from the link provided, and then upload it to the AppStore using the Transporter app.
