"react-native eject": Unrecognized command "eject"

Question

I am trying to recreate ios and android folders for my react-native project. As far as I know this is done with the command:

react-native eject

But I get the error:

error Unrecognized command "eject".

I am doing something wrong? How should I recreate android and ios folders?

react-native-cli: 2.0.1

Answer 1

npm i react-native-eject
npm i @react-native-community/cli
react-native eject

will generate the both android and ios folder

Answer 2

It did work in 0.59.9. This threw me too this morning after I upgraded to 0.60. Apparently you now have to run react-native upgrade --legacy true. react-native eject was much easier IMHO.
