Run react-native application on iOS device directly from command line?
The following worked for me (tested on react native 0.38
and 0.40
):
npm install -g ios-deploy# Run on a connected device, e.g. Max's iPhone:react-native run-ios --device "Max's iPhone"
If you try to run run-ios
, you will see that the script recommends to do npm install -g ios-deploy
when it reach install step after building.
While the documentation on the various commands that react-native offers is a little sketchy, it is worth going to react-native/local-cli. There, you can see all the commands available and the code that they run - you can thus work out what switches are available for undocumented commands.
First install the required library globally on your computer:
npm install -g ios-deploy
Go to your settings on your iPhone to find the name of the device.
Then provide that below like:
react-native run-ios --device "______\'s iPhone"
Sometimes this will fail and output a message like this:
Found Xcode project ________.xcodeprojCould not find device with the name: "_______'s iPhone".Choose one of the following:______’s iPhone Udid: _________
That udid is used like this:
react-native run-ios --udid 0412e2c230a14e23451699
Optionally you may use:
react-native run-ios --udid 0412e2c230a14e23451699 -- configuration Release
Run this command in project root directory.
1>. List of iPhone devices for found the connected Real Devices and Simulator. same as like adb devices command for android.
xcrun instruments -s devices
2>. Select device using this command which you want to run your app
Using Device Name
react-native run-ios --device "Kool's iPhone"
Using UDID
react-native run-ios --udid 0412e2c2******51699
wait and watch to run your app in specific devices - K00L ;)
