eas-cli: "main.jsbundle does not exist" error when building iOS version locally with Expo SDK 47 using eas-cli

Build/Submit details page URL

App is built with --local flag

Summary

I am trying to build the iOS version of an application locally whose Expo version I had upgraded to version 47. I have no issues building the Android version but run into issues when building the iOS. I can build the iOS version when I generate the Xcode project myself but cannot via eas.

Managed or bare?
