Hello -

React Native for Windows apps can only be run on Windows. See System requirements.

Are you trying to develop a React Native for Windows app on a mac?

Hi
Yes i do, i have mac and i‘m developing all of my react and reactNative projects on mac.
maybe i should use virtual machine for install windows on the mac?

It is possible to build the js and run jest tests on mac, but yes if you want to build and run actual native code that requires a windows OS somewhere.

Thanks for the feedback. You can use VS for Mac to develop Windows 10 apps using a Mac. However, you need to spin up a Windows 10 VM in order to test/run the app against Windows.
