It seems like react-native eject is no more available. The only way I could find for recreating the ios folder was to generate it from scratch.

Take a backup of your ios folder

mv /path_to_your_old_project/ios /path_to_your_backup_dir/ios_backup

Navigate to a temporary directory and create a new project with the same name as your current project

Install the pod dependencies inside the ios folder within your project

cd /path_to_your_old_project/ios
pod install
