ios:build with adhoc provision profile
complete
Anil D
I use the command exp build:ios successfully with the option
"I want to upload my own keystore!"
--> everything works;
now it seems, that the expo-build server generates an
"iOS Distribution App Store Provisioning Profile"
(inside apple account) for the current app-id, if it doesn't exist; then the build process uses this profile;
--> that works good;
could you please implement a feature, so that I can choose optionally to use an existing
"iOS Distribution Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile",
which I generated before inside apple-developer-account.
The advantage of using "Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile" should be, that I can define real devices for testing without using testflight.

This is supported in our new build service called "EAS Build" - more information on what that means and what this feature looks like in this blog post: https://blog.expo.io/expo-application-services-eas-build-and-submit-fc1d1476aa2e
Note: EAS Build is in feature preview. We don't plan on porting the "internal distribution" to
expo build

This is possible right now by creating the Ad Hoc provisioning profile in appstoreconnect, and then providing that to
expo build:ios
as a command line argument (--provisioning-profile-path <path to file>

Charlie Cruzan: Hey Charlie, does this work perfectly fine? I'm planning to go this route as we have to yet to do feature additions and debug before taking it to production. IMO testflight requires an app store review and not an ideal path here? Your thoughts would be helpful.

Charlie Cruzan: Thanks !! This is working perfectly. I have successfully installed an expo iOS build using adhoc provision file. I was looking for that for days and days

planned
this won't be ready for a while but we are planning on doing this, maybe before the end of 2020

We need this to run UI tests right after build without waiting for TestFlight

I'm so waiting for this. Uploading to iTunes Connect and using Testflight it's annoying. There must be an Ad Hoc provisioning profile option for the builds!
