“Invariant Violation: Application AwesomeProject has not been registered” When building for iOS device with static jsbundle

Question

First off, I don\'t know react, but I figured deploying to an iOS device instead of the simulator wouldn\'t be too difficult to do with the docs. They were a bit sparse but

Answer 1

AppRegistry.registerComponent('abc',() => ***); 

the 'abc' must be the same as the moduleName:@'abc' in the file name AppDelegate.m

Answer 2

I had the same issue. I solved it by giving the same name to both AppDelegate's moduleName and AppRegistry.registerComponent

If you are running the app with $ react-native run-ios you will need to rename the moduleName field in ./ios/[project name]/AppDelegate.m to match the new name of the project. Refresh the phone simulator and it should show the new code.
