Storybook: SB5 React Native multiple installation issues

[EskelCz]

Describe the bug
Installation with npx -p @storybook/cli sb init does three weird things:

1. "WARNING: We noticed you're using the useBuiltIns option without declaring a core-js version".
   Not a big deal I guess, but concerning.

2. "Please choose a version of "@storybook/react-native" from this list:"
   I've chosen the latest 5.1.0-alpha.13. After installation, this end up installed and in my package.json:

    "@storybook/react-native": "^5.0.5",
    "@storybook/addon-actions": "^5.0.5",
    "@storybook/addon-links": "^5.0.5",
    "@storybook/addons": "^5.0.5",

Not what I selected.

1. Last and most troubling, when I run yarn run storybook or npm run storybook, all I get is:

/bin/sh: storybook: command not found

Indeed there is no storybook binary in /node_modules/.bin/

To Reproduce
Run react-native init test
cd test
npx -p @storybook/cli sb init
npm run storybook

Expected behavior
To start storybook without any issues

System:

• OS: MacOS
• Device: Macbook Air 2018
• Framework: React Native 0.59.1
• Env: node v10.15.3, npm 6.4.1, yarn 1.15.2

Thanks for looking into this

To clarify, I'm getting the same error (command not found) even when I install specifically "@storybook/react-native": "^5.1.0-alpha.13"

@EskelCz This is related to https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/issues/5893

What happens when you run npx -p @storybook/cli@next sb init so that it gets the alpha versions of the libraries?

The core-js issue is separate, and related to the recent release of core-js@3. We should fix it, but AFAIK it's just a warning and not actually causing any problems ... yet 😄

[EskelCz]

@shilman Thanks, that installs the right version.
Then it crashes on missing peer dependencies (babel and webpack), which are hard to notice (since they became such a commonplace these days) but after installing those it finally works. :)
Thank you

[EskelCz]

@shilman I think I've found how to replicate it:
start-storybook seems to start the server ok
storybook start gives the error
(the second is mentioned here: https://storybook.js.org/docs/guides/guide-react-native/)

[shilman]

@EskelCz thanks for following up on this. This changed in 5.1, but the docs page is for the latest stable version. Here's the migration for 5.1:

https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/blob/next/MIGRATION.md#react-native-server

Any suggestions on what we should do about this?

[EskelCz]

Oh, I missed the last instruction of the migration info. So I guess it's fine, everyone with the same problem will find this thread.
Just update the docs with the new command when it's out of alpha.
Thanks for your patience! :)

I installed storybook with npx -p @storybook/cli sb init today...

as suggested from the the cli, i installed core-js@3, then the start script was not found.

but after installing @storybook/react-native-server and updating storybook script to `start-storybook -p 7111" i solved the problem
