Some developers choose instead to build Xcode project with Bazel, a tool to build and test different kind of apps and languages (Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go) for different platform. That being said, it stays a great tool in small apps and app team to quickly prototype and gives a great feedback for new joiners to understand what is the user journey. If your team is small and distribution might not be the priority right now, I would still encourage to find a solution to make sure your app is constantly build and the tests are running to anticipate any issues when scaling the team.
