Does expo-dev-client build auto reload? - ios

I'm trying to use expo-dev-client to develop my app. The app hasn't contained native dependency yet.
After following the set up in the Expo document, I lasted run the command '''eas build --platform ios --profile preview'''. It built an app. Then I installed the app on my IOS simulator. (I haven't registered my iPhone to ad hoc).
The app now has the newest source code. But after editing and saving new source code, the app installed on the simulator didn't update.
So, does expo-dev-client build auto-reload? Or how to update the newest code to the installed app on my IOS simulator?

No, you have to re-build it when you have a new release.
I recommend checcking https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/publishing/
You can see the changes when the code isn't builder with the simulator

Unable to find any Xcode installations that supports iOS Simulator 13.2.2

I am getting this error when using titanium and trying to run my app on iOS simulator . I could do it before. My SDK version is 7.5.0.GA. How can I make it fine?
I use the command below to build my app:
ti build -p ios -T simulator
7.5.0.GA is from 2018. I strongly recommend updating the SDK to the latest (currently 9.0.3.GA) to make your app work again with the latest simulators and be able to push it to the app store. Check:

Upload cordova app to the Apple store with Xcode 10

I noticed that Cordova is not compatible with the latest version of Xcode 10. To test the app I use this command:
cordova run ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'
and it works all correctly. I would like to know if it is possible to load applications built with the old Xcode system on the app store.
Using XCode legacy build system works completely fine when uploading to the AppStore. I still maintain an ionic 1 project that way.
Also, might I suggest checking out the release notes on the new build system which might answer some of your questions: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_10_release_notes/build_system_release_notes_for_xcode_10

WebStorm - React-Native App simulator not working

I created a brand new React-Native app using WebStorm. When I click on Run -> iOS to fire in iOS simulator, I don't see iOS simulator loading. I don't see any errors also. Here is the screenshot after I run the project.
Now I could run react-native run-ios to get iOS simulator to work (btw which works), but I would like WebStorm to fire simulator so that I can use in-built debugger in WebStorm.
What webStorm and react-native versions do you use? looks similar to WEB-29569, fixed in 2017.3
It's possible that WebStorm uses not latest version of react native that caused some troubles with Xcode version.
First you need to upgrade your Xcode to currently latest version.
Second you would better use stable version of Node JS.
I recommend you not to create app with WebStorm. For today the best way to create new app is create-react-native-app command line tool. It will create app using expo kit. As app will be initialized - run npm start (or better yarn start if you have it, because yarn is optimized version of npm). As it loaded it will show you QR code in terminal witch is you should read with your device and it will install Expo App and open your app inside it. Also you can press i to run iOS simulator.
Here is short documentation for creating app with create-react-native-app. Follow this steps and everything will be all right.

Run release build version using cordova iOS

I want to test the release build version on my iOS device directly using this command:
cordova run --buildConfig=build.json ios --release --device
But not working, is anybody here manage to test the release build version running on device? Thanks in advance.
Or let say the worst case, we can't do it. Is there any guarantee that below command:
cordova build --buildConfig=build.json ios --release
will build the release version of our app, when we open the xcode project on xcode?
My point is I need to get the release version build by cordova, not by Xcode.
Likely not guaranteed, but that's just a guess.
I'm not sure why you need Cordova to put together a release build—in order to submit to the app store you will want to use Xcode to archive your app. I have no idea if Cordova can do a proper archive but personally I wouldn't rely on it because at least Xcode should be up to date on what Apple demands from the build. Especially with automatic code signing. Cordova may lag in its implementation when Apple changes things.
One little thing, when a .ipa is signed for distribution through the app store, you cannot side load it onto a device. You can only side load .ipas that are signed for development.

How to install cordova(phonegap) ios app to device via cli and not via xcode

I am trying to create a simple project with last phonegap version:
$ phonegap create my-project
$ phonegap build ios
$ phonegap install ios
All works perfectly and I see emulator with my simple application.
But I can't find documentation on how to run my application on device(iphone, for example) and not on a simulator.
All documentation by cordova / phonegap based on examples with cordova's template for xcode.
But last cordova's version don't have template for xcode and all that I need - cli, if I understand correctly?
I already registered as IOS developer and I have a valid iPhone development certificate.
When I connect my device - I can see it in xcode and I can run native application on my device.
But only via xcode.
I will be grateful to any advice.
If the cordova app builds and runs on the simulator, try running cordova run ios --device
This worked for me, when before it was only hitting the simulator.
Alternatively, if that STILL doesn't work for you, when you run codova build ios, to just build the app, you could use itunes to sync the generated .app file in <project_folder>/platforms/ios/build/device/AppName.app
There is an Apple CLI tool canned xcodebuild, as well as this wrapper around it by Facebook. I'd suggest trying out either that or look at the build-in xcodebuild shipped with xcode.
Hopefully one of them will work.

If you use Cordova CLI, you should be able to do this:
cordova run ios
