Personal Team is not enrolled in the Apple Developer Program - ios

I am trying to upload the app to app store but getting this error on validating the app or distribution.
Team "Username (Personal Team)" is not enrolled in the Apple
Developer Program. Distribution requires enrollment in the Apple
Developer Program. Visit https://developer.apple.com/account to
enroll.
I am new iOS development and app built with the react native framework and publishing the app using XCode 11.2.1. I am using a team member account as an app manager.
I find this Apple Developer link for the known issue but I don't understand the solution they are providing. Can any body explain it.

React Native IOS app build without Enrolling for Developer Program

I have developed an app on react native android and want to build same for the ios. While building the IOS app, I am facing the signing issue, It is asking for the Provisional profile. When I log in to my apple account, it is saying I was not enrolled in the developer program and for that, I have to pay the enrollment fee.
My question is
Is it compulsory to enroll in the Apple Developer program to build and share the app with my friends. It will cost me around $100
Is there any way I can build the app without enrolling to developer program
According to Xcode documentation
All iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps must be code signed using a
provisioning profile to launch on a device. macOS apps that use
certain app services must be signed to launch on your Mac too.

Which means you compulsorily need a provisioning profile for running anything on device and the only way you can create one is by registering for the Apple Developer Program. It is expensive no doubt but that's Apple for you.

Create a downloadable ios link of app not working

I'm trying to upload my flutter app to either deployninja, diawi, or testflight.
I currently have an expired apple developers membership.
In Xcode I went to Product > Archive > Distribute. When ic click on any of the export options, I get an error saying
Team "Jessica (Personal Team)" is not enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.
Distribution requires enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. Visit https://developer.apple.com/account to enroll.
How can I create a downloadable link for my app without uploading it to the app store yet?
I don't think that's possible. You need to have an app created in itunes connect to get the appstore link (app id).
You need an Apple Developer account. If you have it, you can use test flight to send your app to people without making it on the app store.
Another option is this: Your app is in the product section in Xcode
I don't know how to download this on iPhone but that is the application file.

No developer team error when building for iOS

I'm building an app with Expo for iOS with expo build:ios but I am getting this error message:
Trying to authenticate with Apple Developer Portal...
Authenticated with Apple Developer Portal successfully!
Authentication with Apple Developer Portal failed!
You have no team associated with your Apple account, cannot proceed.
(Do you have a paid Apple Developer account?)
Do I need to have a paid account or how can I build iOS apps from my mac?
Is there no way to build for iOS without a paid account?
UPDATE WITH SCREENSHOTS
Here are some screenshots of the errormessage in the console and the preferences regarding my account in xcode
To do anything but run directly from Xcode on a Simulator requires a paid developer membership. Apple makes a limited exception for running on a device. Your situation appears not to fall in either category so it would seem you’d need the paid membership. The console message from expo seems decisive.

Is TestFlight Distribution Available to Apple Enterprise Developer Accounts?

I've been using Apple's new TestFlight since it first became available and have had a relatively positive experience with it. I've always used it with my standard $99 Developer account.
A new client has an Enterprise Program account. When I've attempted to submit the build to iTunes Connect, I've received the attached error message.
I know that we originally had to export all of our provision profiles again to get the new "beta-reports-active" entitlement. I've tried that with the client's Enterprise developer account, and it is not added.
To sanity check, I tried to upload the app to my personal developer account and it went as smoothly as always. No issues.
So, the question is... Can Enterprise Development Program users deploy an App to TestFlight for internal testing, or does that require a basic developer account. That would actually make sense to me because one of the points behind the Enterprise program is not having to go through Apple's iTunes Connect and App Store processes. I just haven't been able to find anything official about it.
Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks!
From the official "App Distribution Guide" guide, page "Distributing Apple Developer Enterprise Program Apps"
Important: As a member of the Apple Developer Enterprise Program, you
don’t have an iTunes Connect account or the ability to distribute your
app for beta testing using iTunes Connect.
It means that an Apple Developer Enterprise account can't be used for beta distribution on TestFlight (iTunes Connect).

Distribution of iOS in-house application that is developed under iOS Developer Enterprise Program

I am new to itunesConnect and iOS app development & distribution.
I have an application that is developed and tested using the provisioning certificates that are generated by using an account of Account Type : In-House. Now the application is ready to distribute.
But, I got stuck in distributing the application. Tried to upload in iTunesConnect, but some link says that iTunesConnect will not help to distribute in-house apps. What shall I do now to distribute the app.
I got stuck in this stage for the last 2 weeks.
You can't distribute apps on the App store with an iOS Developer Enterprise Program account (see the Enterprise account FAQ).
If I am enrolled in the iOS Developer Enterprise Program, can I distribute my apps on the App Store?
No. The ability to distribute apps on the App Store is only available
to developers enrolled in the standard iOS Developer Program. The iOS
Developer Enterprise Program only allows you to distribute your apps
to employees or members of your organization through Ad Hoc
distribution.
If your company is enrolled in the iOS Developer Enterprise Program
but would also like to distribute your app(s) to customers on the App
Store, you will need to enroll in the iOS Developer Program.
Only iOS Developer Program can create provisioning profiles which can be used to submit apps to the App store.
You should sign up for a iOS Developer Program account and then you will have the following option when creating a provisioning profile.
If you want to distribute your application (make sure you don't break the license agreement - §2.6
No Other Permitted Uses) you should use the middle option when creating an IPA in Xcode.
The offical Apple process for deployment and distribution can be found here (This is probably the better document to look at on that page).
