Have expo project, want public testing URL
The expo has restricted loading of apps from the public for ios, but here's a workaround that we use to let users test our apps when we do rapid-prototyping...
- create a GitHub action to build the expo app with a unique app name for each PR, so you don't accidentally do anything to your production app and so comments are stamped to specific feature branches
- run
npx expo publish --non-interactive
- look for the output URL which looks like this:
image: /uploads/ đ Manifest: https://exp.host/@***/***-pr-40/index.exp?sdkVersion=40.0.0 Learn more: https://expo.fyi/manifest-url - Copy that URL into a QR code generator like this one:
http://goqr.me/#t=url
Or use a CLI script to do it at the end of the build process:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/qrcode
And then email it to the users that you want to test! - Scan the code on your iPhone!
