title: How to build .ipa for React Native?
body: <p>I come to React Native development without previous experience in iOS development. I want to build release. .ipa file - ideally from the command line but the official documentation <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device-ios.html#content" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Running On Device</a> is very brief.</p>
  <p>I was able to deploy applications on my iPhone manually via XCode but still, I can't find any &quot;release IPA&quot; file. I have updated my code with <code>#ifdef DEBUG</code> directives to make it more generic.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to build an application in release mode only via the command-line? If no, what is &quot;the official&quot; way to generate an RN application?</p>
  <p>I am currently using RN 0.20.</p>
