 Open the project up in xCode and select the signing profiles that you wish to use. You may need to signup with appstoreconnect and setup the provisioning profile and certificates. [See Apple's documentation for more information](https://developer.apple.com/help/account/). Once the app and profiles are loaded in xCode, create an "archive" of the project by navigating to [Product/Archive]. After it has completed, you can distribute it locally or to the AppStore using the "Organizer" window.
 
+## Archiving for iOS:
+
+To create an archive to send to the App Store, before opening xCode, install the pod dependecies with the following command:
+
+```
+NO_FLIPPER=1 npx pod-install
+```

 ## Interacting with the Smart Wallet
 
 At a high level, the RIF Wallet uses the RIF Relay Server to send transactions on behalf of the user. The user creates a transaction in the app, signs it, and then passes it to the RIF Relay Server to get a cost estimation. That estimation is returned to the user, and the user signs an updated transaction with that cost and passes it to the Relay Server.
