android - No Bundle URL Found - React Native Getting Started

Question

I am following the steps at React Native Getting Started and I am unable to get the application running. When I run cd /Users/brandonsmac/SysDevMobileApps/ReactNative/AwesomeApp" && npx react-native run-ios

It will say successfully built, but when I got to view the screen it says "Bundle URL Missing"

I notice there is the following post that I tried react-native No bundle URL present and I still get the error.

Also, I can show what happens when I run it with the expo but that fails as well.

Can someone please help me?

The answer I found here worked. https://onexlab-io.medium.com/no-bundle-url-present-fixed-ca2688a80f66

Step 1:

• Open the package.json file and add the following line '"build:ios": "react-native bundle --entry-file='index.js' --bundle-output='./ios/main.jsbundle' --dev=false --platform='iOS'"'
• Now your file looks like this following screenshot

Step 2:

• Run following command. It will generate main.jsbundle file

  yarn build:ios or npm run build:ios

Step 3:

• Open iOS project in Xcode show as following screenshot

• Select -> Target → Build Phases under Copy Bundle Resources click on the plus button as following screenshot.

• It will show you the prompt as shown below. Then select the file main.jsbundle and click on the Add button

Step 4:

Try to re-run your app

npx react-native run-ios
