React-native: [UiExplorer Example] "No script URL provided" when running on phone

[andresn]

Red screen of death:
http://screencast.com/t/VqeuVMwPSM

Commented out:
// sourceURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost:8081/Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorerApp.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

Tried both of these:
sourceURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://192.168.1.92:8081/Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorerApp.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

sourceURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];

My react versions:
"name": "react-native",
"version": "0.0.0-master",

@brentvatne tried:
$: git clean -dfx
$: npm i && npm start
Product > Clean in Xcode
Then recompiling

UIExplorer runs fine in simulator and my other project runs fine in simulator and phone.

Please advise and thank you in advance for your time!

@andresn I got the same error too, it occurred because no generated javascript bundle inside the project. So you just need to do according to the comments in AppDelegate.m:66

While the server is running,

$ curl 'http://localhost:8081/Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorerApp.ios.bundle?platform=ios' -o main.jsbundle

then add the main.jsbundle file to your project.

Thank @turboza, just in case it might help someone, I had to add the /js to the command line path to have it working :

$ curl 'http://localhost:8081/Examples/UIExplorer/js/UIExplorerApp.ios.bundle?platform=ios' -o main.jsbundle

Shouldn't the README be updated on the instructions for running on a device? The current README for UIExplorer doesn't mention this and just points the reader to https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device-ios.html. The docs page for running on device doesn't mention anything about generating the bundle.

Out of curiosity, is this a general issue with building for devices or specific to the UIExplorer project? I presume that react-native init <project> would normally create the missing bundle?

Btw, there is currently no comment on line 66 of appDelegate.m. I should comment by saying I'm not an objective c developer and not familiar with Xcode. So feel free to use me as a use case of the difficulties for a non objective c dev to get up to speed with react-native and use the UI Examples.
