First, you need to create a bundle this way :

react-native bundle --dev false --entry-file index.ios.js --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --platform ios

Then, you have to comment this line in AppDelegate.m :

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

and uncomment this one :

jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];

Then you have to go for Product -> Archive in Xcode and follow the steps based on your desired release
