You can init a new project that's named the same in another folder and copy ios dir over:

# inside YourProjectName directory
npx react-native init YourProjectName
mv YourProjectName/ios ios
rm -rf YourProjectName

Make sure you have clean git history before doing so, in case you need to revert

Omg, Why do that?, Can't we use "react-native upgrade --legacy true or react-native eject"?

think there should be an command like eject

@socialty If you feel like it, please create a detailed feature request with a motivation for why it's worth to spend time implementing such a feature, when you can do so manually without too much hassle (no great DX, but possible).

It appears the latest version of react native got rid of those commands :(

Although not ideal, seems to be the best option for now. Thanks!

Add command to regenerate iOS or Android file incase of a mess up

[joaodematejr]

Command already existed in previous versions of RN, but has been removed.

I solve this on ubuntu 20.04 running:
sudo npx react-native run-android
