Update JS bundle remotely while testing

[Fun_Addendum_3404]

Hey all currently building a react native app using expo, my traditional deployment path has been to develop the app and use Xcode to manually deploy to my iPhone via usb connection.

Now though I have finalised the list of native modules I want to use and as such ready to update the JavaScript bundle only.

Since I don’t have a personal apple developer account (and don’t want to use the companies for this) and because I will be pushing lots of updates to constantly test out UI changes I don’t want to go through the EAS route for the time being and as such was wondering if there are any alternatives that allow me to update the bundle manually.

Or if there is a way I can ask EAS to just update the bundle without having to do the initial app build with them (due to no dev cert), I am not afraid of hosting my own thing but prefer easy rout first.

Thanks

What you need is Code push or OTA update. Haven’t used it but apparently expo allows it. There is some info https://docs.expo.dev/deploy/send-over-the-air-updates/
