I’m new at react-native and I can easily create a react-native app using Expo, but there is no way using react-native init with Mac OS.

I have checked all the recommendations on internet, but the ios folder is never created.

Versions I have:
-Node v18.8.0

-Watchman v2022.08.22.00

-cocoapods v1.11.3

-xcode Version 13.4.1

I have tried all the recommendations I found: react-native upgrade, react-native-eject, reinstalling react-native-cli…,but no way.

I think that the template is not correct.

Can someone tell me how to solve this issue?

  1. Expo updated today, just download the latest version of react-native. After creating the project, type in your terminal yarn add react-native@latest / npm install react-native@latest

  2. Perhaps you mistyped, but rather than reinstalling react-native-cli try uninstalling:

    npm uninstall -g react-native-cli

    As suggested in the docs, globally installed react-native-cli can cause issues, and missing the iOS folder/incomplete init is indeed one of them.

    Once global react-native-cli is installed re-run react-native init
