expo-apple-2fa

A Github Action which wires serivces together to allow Expo to publish iOS builds, especially with Apple two-factor authentication enabled

Usage

1. Generate an app-specific password. Unfortunately, some pieces of Fastlane use this, but others use the standard Apple ID password.

2. Use Github Secrets to store at least:

   • Your Apple password (EXPO_APPLE_PASSWORD)
   • Your app-specific password (EXPO_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD)

   It's up to you if you want to store your phone number or Apple ID itself in the secrets.

3. Create a workflow file in your repository.

   publish:
     runs-on: macos-latest  # REQUIRED.
     steps:
       - uses: jakemwood/expo-apple-2fa@main
         with:
           expo_apple_id: "[email protected]"
           expo_apple_password: ${{ secrets.EXPO_APPLE_PASSWORD }}
           app_specific_password: ${{ secrets.EXPO_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD }}
           tfa_phone_number: "+1 (800) 555-1234"
   

   NOTE: the format of the tfa_phone_number must match exactly what is offered to you by the Expo client / Fastlane when choosing how to receive your 2FA code.

How it works

Once the action runs, it will provide you with a link to an ngrok tunnel where you can enter your 2FA code once you receive it. You have two choices:

1. Use the provided web interface

2. Send a POST request to the tunnel with a JSON body:

   {"code": "123456"}
   

Alternatives?

If there are, I'd love to hear about them and abandon this project.
