Tried removing create-manifest-ios.sh from the build phase but the app doesn’t start due to it not finding the bundle.

Same issue here. It seems related to expo-updates waiting for packager server which is not started during build. It is working in local only when running npm start or react-native start at the same time.

Error: Failed to connect to the packager server. If you did not start this build by running 'react-native run-android', you can start the packager manually by running 'react-native start' in the project directory. (Error: Request to packager server failed: 500)

It looks like the create-manifest script needs to startup the bundler, just as the react-native xcode.sh script does. Unless you can find a way to run the bundler separately in another process…but in a CI environment that’s a bit tricky as we’re seeing.
