Same problem here.

I dodged the problem by retrieving the buildUrl with the EAS build:list command after the build was done.

So, first you make the build with:

eas build -p ios --profile production --non-interactive --auto-submit

Then, you get the info json from the previous build:

eas build:list --platform=ios --buildProfile=production --status=finished --limit=1 --json --non-interactive

And, for example, if you need to do that in a bash script like me, you can do that:

BUILD_INFO=$(eas build:list --platform=ios --buildProfile=production --status=finished --limit=1 --json --non-interactive)
echo $BUILD_INFO
BUILD_URL=$(echo $BUILD_INFO | grep -o '"buildUrl": "[^"]*' | grep -o '[^"]*$')
echo $BUILD_URL

I hope this helps

We ended up with something similar using jq and more variables for debugging purposes

sudo apt-get install -y jq
BUILD_OUTPUT_JSON=$(eas build -p android --profile production --non-interactive --auto-submit --json)
BUILD_OUTPUT_ID=$(echo $BUILD_OUTPUT_JSON | jq -r '.[0].id')
BUILD_OUTPUT_INFO=$(eas build:view $BUILD_OUTPUT_ID --json)
BUILD_OUTPUT_URL=$(echo $BUILD_OUTPUT_INFO | jq -r '.artifacts.buildUrl')

this allow us to not depend on build order, since we have concurrent build at the same time, and always retrieve the url based on the ID

using

eas build:view $ID --json

Hope this helps anyone trying to achieve the same result
