On the iPhone simulator everything works fine. When building the App for the iPhone i get the error:

A bundleURL is required to create an RCTRootView

In the AppDelegate.m i unment the following line;

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

And downloaded the prebuild main.jsbundle to the iOS folder in the project root:

curl http://localhost:8081/index.ios.bundle -o main.jsbundle

I forgot to add the file to the project.

You need to right-click on the project name and select "Add files to MyProject…". Then choose the main.jsbundle. Build the project and it should work.
