Create-react-native-app: Freshly ejected app: `could not connect to server`

[xavier-villelegier]

Hey,

Description

I'm trying to use create-react-native-app to create an app with ExpoKit from scratch. But without adding anything, it doesn't work for me. Here are the commands I've used:

create-react-native-app test-expokit
cd test-expokit
npm run eject (with "ExpoKit: I'll create or log in with an Expo account to use React Native and the Expo SDK." option)
npm install
cd ios && pod install
cd .. && react-native run-ios

Expected Behavior

The demo app should work on an iOS simulator.

Observed Behavior

It doesn't work on an iOS simulator, here is the result:

Environment

• npm ls react-native-scripts: [email protected] extraneous
• npm ls react-native: [email protected]
• npm ls expo: [email protected]
• node -v: v7.10.0
• npm -v: 4.2.0
• yarn --version: 0.27.5
• watchman version: "version": "4.7.0"

1. Operating system: MacOS Sierra 10.12.5
2. Phone/emulator/simulator & version: Xcode 8.3.3

Fixed. You have to run exp start or open the project in Expo XDE even if your project is detached/ejected. It is precised here but not really in the create-react-native-app doc (or I couldn't find it).
