Expected Output:

  • Build will start on EAS servers
  • You'll get a build URL to monitor progress
  • Build typically takes 10-20 minutes

Step 2: Monitor Build Progress

  1. Check build status:

    npx eas-cli build:list --platform ios --limit 5

  2. Or visit the EAS dashboard:

Step 3: Automatic TestFlight Upload

Once the build completes successfully:

  1. EAS will automatically upload to TestFlight (if configured)
  2. Check App Store Connect:

Step 4: TestFlight Distribution

  1. Add the build to a test group:

    • In App Store Connect → TestFlight
    • Select build 22
    • Add to "Internal Testing" or your preferred test group

  2. Send invitations:

    • Add your Apple ID email to the test group
    • TestFlight will send you an email invitation

Step 5: Install on iPhone

  1. Install TestFlight app (if not already installed)
  2. Accept the invitation from the email
  3. Download TribeFind v1.4.2 from TestFlight
  4. Test Apple Sign In functionality

Step 6: Testing Apple Sign In

Once installed on your iPhone:

  1. Open TribeFind app
  2. Navigate to sign-in screen
  3. Look for "Continue with Apple" button (black button with Apple logo)
  4. Tap the Apple Sign In button
  5. Verify the following:
    • Apple's authentication dialog appears
    • Face ID/Touch ID/Passcode authentication works
    • Option to hide/share email is presented
    • Successful sign-in navigates to main app
    • User profile is created correctly

Troubleshooting

If Build Fails:

# Check build logs
npx eas-cli build:view [BUILD_ID]

# Or check the build URL provided when you started the build

If Apple Sign In Button Doesn't Appear:
