How to solve the "unrecognized command run-ios" error with React Native
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
A quick guide to how I solved a confusing React Native error
I was starting a new React Native project and I ran the command
npx react-native run-ios
to start it.
I got an error back with this line in it:
unrecognized command "run-ios"
I could not figure this out, until I realized I was running this command in my home folder.
Instead, this needs to be run from inside the project’s folder.
cd
into the React Native project, and this error should go away and your React Native app should start successfully
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching May 21, 2024. Join the waiting list!
