PLEASE HELP
You’ve got a second packager running. Find that and close it down.
hello again... skellock ... thanks for your help.
I tried to kill all node processes and I ran the react process again...
As you can see I got cleared on port 8081, but somehow the ERROR pops again right after that check.... Any pointers ?

Can you try starting the packager manually?
npm start
Then, in a 2nd terminal shell, launch react-native run-ios only when you see the first command succeed.
If the packager fails (from the 1st command) you'll see instructions about kill the rogue packager with lsof.
Guess what skellock ??? After days of desperate search through dozens of sites, I came to find the answer, a definite solution and a great NEW friend, here at Ignite's github page. Can't thank you enough!!! Cheers!!!
NOTE: the only thing I would add to your post is this... before you follow these steps, open TWO terminal windows cmd + T (to open side by side) and then proceed to enter each command on each opened tab. Third step was not necessary. KUDOS!!!

Hah! Glad you’re up & running. Now get to work building that app! 😛
@inglesuniversal how did you solve your issue? Cause it seems that I have the same one on my starter project? Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
Need help, can't get it working.
1) I ran this "npm start" in first terminal
React packager ready.
Loading dependency graph, done.
2) Then I ran this "react-native run-ios" in second terminal
/usr/bin/codesign --force --sign - --timestamp=none /Users/eric/Documents/Codes/learn/reactnative/mySecondProject/ios/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/mySecondProject.app/PlugIns/mySecondProjectTests.xctest

Any idea what's the issue?
I am using this
Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
Latest Xcode 8.3.3
node 8.4.0
npm 5.4.1
react native - tested both 0.47.2 and 0.48.2
react-native-cli - 2.0.1
yarn 0.20.0
I have also tried the following and won't worked
just "react-native run-ios" won't work
FYI, open in xcode and run it will work. Just many warnings as below
Just wonder how come command line won't work?
Thanks.
Hi guys, running into this same issue too. Xcode 9, macos 10.12.6, node 9.4, npm 5.3, react-native-cli 2.0.1. these are the things i have tried:
react-native upgrade (using the new react-native-git-upgrade)lsof -n -i4TCP:8081npm start and then react-native run-iosCFBundleIdentifier is in ios/PizzaApp/info.plist
what else could be the cause of this?
Still getting this issue too. Any ideas?
Looks like the problem solved for me when I did not choose internalization which is where the issue seems to be
What internationalization library will you use? (Use arrow keys)
❯◯ none
◯ react-native-i18n
run in your terminal: killall -9 node
That solved it for me!
In react-native: 0.60.5
Go to . > [Your Project] > ios > [Your Project].xcodeproj > project.pbxproj.
Change all the port 8081 to 8089(example)
Thanks!But I dont't know why...
