Running Production Build on iOS (XCode) shows default screen #19083

I want to put my react-native app on my phone without using the live reload server.

When i run react-native run-ios --configuration Release in the console it is working well. My app is shown in the simulator.

In XCode i followed the instructions provided on the react documentation to build my app for production. After doing that, every time i run the app on my phone i only get the default app that comes when you start a react-native app but not my app.

enter image description here

There seems to be something wrong with building the js bundle or using the right one but i cannot figure out what is wrong.

Environment

$ react-native info
Scanning folders for symlinks in mobile/node_modules (10ms)

Environment:
  OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
  Node: 8.9.2
  Yarn: 1.3.2
  npm: 5.5.1
  Watchman: 4.9.0
  Xcode: Xcode 9.3 Build version 9E145
  Android Studio: 3.0 AI-171.4443003

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
  react-native: 0.55.3 => 0.55.3

I was able to narrow done the problem a bit.

When building with XCode there is a build step which calls the metro bundler. It calls the bundler something like this: node /Users/david/projects/churchtools/churchtoolsmobile/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle ...

When i use the following command to build the jsbundle it works:

react-native bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --reset-cache --bundle-output foo.js --assets-dest ./ios

When i use the following command it does not work:

node /Users/david/projects/churchtools/churchtoolsmobile/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --reset-cache --bundle-output foo.js --assets-dest ./ios

The globally installed react-native-cli is version 2.0.1. The locally installed reacy-native Version which also includes the cli is 0.55.3

So there seems to be a problem with the version of the cli that ships currently with react-native version 0.55.3.
