Expo - Is there a way to build an expo app to a .ipa file without an apple developer account?

I've created a simple personal project and don't intend to release it to the app store. Is there any way I can build the expo app to get a .ipa file I can sideload on to my iPhone without a paid apple developer account?

Yes i believe you can, you just need an Expo account using Expo CLI, and log in by typing in the terminal at the root of your project

npm install -g eas-cli
eas login
eas build:configure

And then

eas build --platform ios

And you will get your ipa file by clicking on the link at then end of the build
