@a-tarasyuk - what environment are you running the command from? Are you generating the react-native-windows app from a Mac? Usually the CLI tool will generate a certificate instead of using the default certificate if running from Windows.

@rozele Linux and Mac. Basically, the issue is simple, just need to create windows folder _(in the previous version Yeoman fs could create folders recursively)_ before generating/copy default certificate, because the certificate has to be copied to folders which do not exists. The previous version, which was based on yo API allowed use RNW_CLI on any platform. What do you think does that make sense?

Definitely, I'll look at the PR. Thanks @a-tarasyuk.
