project.json:

{ "name": "mobile", //... "targets": { //... "build-ios": { "executor": "@nx/react-native:build-ios", "options": {} } } }
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/
nx run mobile:build-ios

Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/
nx build-ios <app-name> --buildFolder=dist/ios/build
