Running an iOS app on a device requires an [Apple Developer account](https://developer.apple.com/) and provisioning your iPhone. This guide covers only React Native specific topics.

## Building your app for production
You have built a great app using React Native, and you are now itching to release it in the App Store. The process is the same as any other native iOS app, with some additional considerations to take into account.
### Disabling the developer menu
Building an app for distribution in the App Store requires using the `Release` scheme in Xcode. Apps built for `Release` will automatically disable the in-app developer menu. This will prevent your users from inadvertently accessing the menu in production.
Set up your app to load your JavaScript, images, and other static assets from its resource bundle rather than the development server. This way you can test the app independently of the development server, and will allow you to distribute the app to beta testers and submit the app to the App Store.
App Transport Security is a security feature, added in iOS 9, that rejects all HTTP requests that are not sent over HTTPS. This can result in HTTP traffic being blocked, including the developer React Native server.
ATS is disabled by default in projects generated using the React Native CLI in order to make development easier. You should re-enable ATS prior to building your app for production by removing the `NSAllowsArbitraryLoads` entry from your `Info.plist` file in the `ios/` folder.
