Start a new project: react-native init <projectname>

Open the project in Xcode and run it - if you see error about 3rd party libraries run this:

cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.5/ && ../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh && cd ../../../../

If you get error about @babel/runtime add this specific version to package.json in devDependencies

{
	...
    "@babel/runtime": "7.0.0-beta.55”

}

and run yarn install to update the project with that version of babel

Your project should now build in Xcode and open the simulator

If you try to run the tvOS build you will need to make two changes

And then correct Fishhook library linkage

Fixing these items also allows react-native run-ios to work. Also to run a specific simulator , first list devices: xcrun simctl list devices

Then use one with --simulator="iPhone 4s"
