If you've ever tried submitting a React Native app to the App Store using EAS Build, you've probably hit this wall:

❌ error: No profiles for 'com.yourapp.bundle' were found

Or the classic:

❌ Code signing "YourApp" requires a provisioning profile

I spent hours debugging this. Here's what actually works.

The Problem

EAS Build handles code signing automatically, but sometimes things go wrong:

Expired certificates
Mismatched bundle identifiers
Wrong Apple Developer account linked

Step 1: Clear Your Credentials

First, let's start fresh:

eas credentials

Select iOS, then choose "Remove specific provisioning profile" and clean up any old profiles.

Step 2: Check Your Bundle Identifier

Your app.json must match what's registered in App Store Connect:

{
  "expo": {
    "ios": {
      "bundleIdentifier": "com.yourcompany.yourapp"
    }
  }
}

Go to App Store Connect → Identifiers and verify it exists.

Step 3: Let EAS Manage Everything

In your eas.json, make sure you're using managed credentials:

{
  "build": {
    "production": {
      "ios": {
        "credentialsSource": "remote"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then run:

eas build --platform ios --clear-cache

The --clear-cache flag forces EAS to regenerate everything.

Step 4: If You're Using a New Mac or CI

You need to authenticate with Apple:

eas login
eas build:configure

When prompted, sign in with the Apple ID that has access to your developer account.

The Fix That Actually Worked for Me

After trying everything, this is what finally fixed it:

# 1. Remove all iOS credentials
eas credentials --platform ios
 
# 2. Select "Remove all"
 
# 3. Rebuild with fresh credentials
eas build --platform ios

EAS will prompt you to create new certificates and provisioning profiles. Let it do everything automatically.

Common Gotchas

Multiple Apple Developer accounts? Make sure you're logged into the right one:

eas whoami

Team ID mismatch? Add it explicitly in app.json:

{
  "expo": {
    "ios": {
      "appleTeamId": "YOUR_TEAM_ID"
    }
  }
}

You can find your Team ID in the Apple Developer portal under Membership.

Submitting to App Store

Once your build succeeds, submit directly:

eas submit --platform ios

No need to download the IPA and upload manually through Transporter anymore.

Hope this saves you the hours I wasted. If you're still stuck, check the EAS Build docs or drop a comment below.
