I have been following the react native set up guide from https://reactnative.dev/docs/getting-started-without-a-framework
and set up the environment according to here https://reactnative.dev/docs/set-up-your-environment.
I have followed everything and once opening up the workspace with Xcode 16.1 and building successfully with the IPhone 16 simulator I get this error:
No idea whats wrong, I am new to Xcode and building IOS apps. I have checked other answers but they all seem to be using the ‘react-native’ command which I never used, I simply click the run button on Xcode.
What is going on? And what is the solution? What am I missing from the guide?

Run
npm run ios
in the terminal before running from Xcode.Same error here! When I type the command yarn ios or yarn start, metro recognizes it and appears in the emulator: "Downloading 100%" and does not load my application.
