No bundle URL present (react native)

Question

Just installed react native and trying to get Hello World up and running. Been receiving this error for the last few hours:

 "No bundle URL present.Make sure you're running a packager server  or have included a .jsbundle file in your application bundle." 

I've referred to this: What means of no bundle URL present in react-native? and other similar questions, and tried everything: using my ip addresse, different combos of react-native run-iso and npm install while running and not running, tried deleting builds, cleaning project, restarting Xcode, simulator multiple times, tried react-native-upgrade, edited into.plist to allow arbitrary loads, manually setting the path to my index.ios.js, everything, and nothing works.

I noticed many ran into this issue when trying to build on their device. i'm not trying to do anything fancy, just get 'hello world' up and running.

Any other solutions I am not aware of?

Answer 1

cd into YOUR_PROJECT/ios and rm -r build, then run again react-native run-ios

Answer 2

I have the same issue, my problem was with info.plist I just config it as the following:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>     <dict>         <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>         <true/>         <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent</key>         <true/>         <key>NSAllowsLocalNetworking</key>         <true/>     </dict>

And then add Bash config file .bashrc with this command:

echo "alias rni=\"kill \$(lsof -t -i:8081); rm -rf ios/build/; react-native run-ios\"" >> ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc 

Then run rni

And it works fine with me.
