Expo discovery app not working on iOS

[SamuelScheit]

It fails to open the RNRH discovery app from expo without any error message except this:

I'm using iOS 15.1 with expo version 2.22.2

Hi @Flam3rboy and thank you for this report! This is because of Apple very restrictive and honestly infuriating policies, see https://forums.expo.dev/t/unable-to-share-my-public-project-with-others-on-ios/31192/3

The only solution would be one of either:

• Publish the app in the AppStore;
• Replace the app with a snack.

The later would be cumbersome to maintain. I'm currently working on the former option, but Apple stubbornly refuses that I register to the Apple Developer Program as an individual author. I have contacted the support service, and until now they have been pretty unhelpful.

Not much I can do for now, but you can always launch the discovery app in a simulator from the repository, or use an Android device:

git clone https://github.com/meliorence/react-native-render-html.git
cd react-native-render-html
yarn install
yarn discovery start

That's obviously suboptimal, but I am actively working on it!
