How can I run this template? #2

Open hccheungah opened 5 years ago

hccheungah commented 5 years ago

I am new to react native, and I tried of running this template with Macbook Mojave, but the terminal said: -expo start has issue with platform -react-native run-ios cannot find iPhone 6 simulator -npm start has issue with watchman I am so confused right now

@hccheungah you don't need to use expo. Make sure you install a simulator first (maybe by installing Xcode), before running "react-native run-ios"

Actually I have simulators installed, but still there is error saying that no iPhone 6 simulator is installed.

I kinda find out that it is the problem of the app.json, just wanna ask if there is any specific format for that file since it only has the description of the template without any platform details.

Is there a specific way to run this project, because its throwing different errors all the times. Any ideas? This project works for someone?

@hccheungah If you are getting the same error I was it's because app.json is missing values because project has not been initialized. "expo init" will create a more complete app.json file. But I run into other issues after this.

@weslei-dias-vakt I'm in the same boat. I really like expo so I've been going down that route. I think in order for things to be smooth a specific version of expo-cli needs to be installed. If only everything was in the pacakge.json.

Same here, is there a way to compile it and make it run?
