Deploying to Testflight and App Store - dukechronicle/chron-react GitHub Wiki

Follow the directions on the react native docs for "Using offline bundle" to build the app. This will allow the app to run without a development server (which runs when you run npm start) by bundling the Javascript with the app. Instead of running on a particular device you should select "Generic IOS Device" and choose Product -> Archive. You should then be able to submit it to the app store in the window that pops up when the build in Xcode is finished.
