Answer 1

iOS

1. Open iOS project with Xcode using the following simple command from your root folder.

   xed ./ios
   

2. Now paste the following command in terminal

   react-native bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --assets-dest ios
   

3. Edit the scheme from Xcode like this:

   Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme

   Edit scheme to release

Now you have a stand-alone Xcode project and ready to build/release like native Xcode project.
