Expo Go for iOS Now Requires Matching Login on CLI and App for SDK 57

Expo has updated Expo Go on iOS to support SDK 57, introducing a new requirement that developers must be logged into the same Expo account on both the Expo CLI and the Expo Go app to run projects in development mode. Previously, scanning a QR code was sufficient to load a project, but now mismatched or missing logins will trigger an error message specifying which side needs authentication. Developers can log in via the terminal using 'npx expo login' and through the avatar icon on Expo Go's Home tab. The change currently applies only to the iOS version of Expo Go; Android enforcement is coming later, and simulator builds as well as development builds are unaffected. Those who prefer to avoid the login requirement altogether can switch to a development build, which does not mandate signing in.
