Issue
I've being using Expo for a couple years now, but I always use the Expo Go app to run my app locally and also publishing updates. Right now, most of the libraries are only supported when using development builds, and this is making me consider moving out from Expo Go to use development builds.
The big issue here is that I don't have a Mac, and I also don't want to work on a Mac, I just can't get used to the OS and the keyboard, so I want to keep working on Windows but I want to run my app locally on my iPhone.
As far as I understand, I have to build the native dependencies in order to run the build local, but of course that won't work for the iOS app, since I'm working on windows. But maybe it's possible to generate that build using EAS and still run the app on my iPhone device, but I'm not sure about that.
So the question is, is it possible to run my app locally (during development, so I expect fast refresh and debug tools) on windows but using an iPhone device without the need of a Mac?
Solution
Yes, you can use EAS for development builds. Once built and installed on your device it can connect to any remote development server, no matter which OS it’s running on.
You can read more about how to create and install a dev build in the official documentation here
