Prebuild (optional)
Prebuilding within Expo entails the generation of native runtime code for the project, resulting in the construction of the 'ios' and 'android' directories. Through prebuilding, the native modules that utilize CocoaPods, autolinking, and other configuration plugins are automatically linked and configured. You can conceptualize prebuild as a bundler for native code.
Executing expo prebuild initiates a custom managed workflow that combines the advantages of both bare workflows and managed workflows simultaneously.
Why is prebuilding recommended?
Prebuilding locally can be beneficial for inspecting changes in config plugins and assisting in the debugging of issues.
Running
npx expo prebuild
RUN
Executing the provided commands will prebuild and run your application. It's important to note that push notifications will not function in the iOS Simulator.
# Build and run your native iOS project
