launchPackager.command is not found #43361
Description
Description
I used to run the react native directly on Xcode
having this in my build phases:
export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}"
echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env"
if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then
if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then
if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then
echo "Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly"
exit 2
fi
else
open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command" || echo "Can't start packager automatically"
fi
fi
to run metro server automatically.
But i noticed that the launch command file has been removed in this PR
#38242
i didn't understand why. but can i run the metro server without this?
Steps to reproduce
1- generate project with latest RN
2- try to run from xcode directly
3- metro doesn't show up
