TransformError when running React Native Getting Started project (iOS)

Question

I\'m having trouble getting the React Native Getting Started project to run.

I followed this guide: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html<

Answer 1

Had this same problem. I had a ~/.babelrc that was mucking everything up. I tried everything I could find

1. rm -rf node_modules
2. npm cache clean
3. changed versions of node
4. npm install

Finally... the solution for me was:

sudo lsof -n -i4TCP:8081 then kill the process and rerun react-native run-ios
