Using expo, is there a way to build iOS for free if you're on windows?
Yes, you can use the eas service. You get 15 free iOS builds for free per month, then get charged per build. It will give you an app file, but you still need an iPhone to run it. I do all my development in Windows / android and then borrow my wife's phone at the end to make sure it looks good / works in IOS. More on reddit.com

How to build an iOS Expo App without using EAS Build | by Michael Essiet | Dev Genius
August 8, 2023 - Thankfully I found a way to get the app to build and get it published. This is an article about how I went about doing that. After several trial and errors I found out that there is no need to use the Expo/EAS build commands because you can just archive your app directly through Xcode.

r/reactnative on Reddit: Expo EAS build alternative?
May 23, 2023 -

Hi everybody. Long story short, my company doesn't want to use expo EAS service because pricing and the free option have long build times, 30 builds and 1 concurrency.
We are a team of react developers, 1 sr and 2 jrs and the eas service and abstractions seemed very convenient for somebody not familiar with mobile development ecosystem.

Does anybody here have experience using local builds? https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/local-builds/

Is the hassle and downside too much compared to using eas service?
