Description

I used to run the react native directly on Xcode
having this in my build phases:

export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}"
echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env"
if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then
if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then
if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then
echo "Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly"
exit 2
fi
else
open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command" || echo "Can't start packager automatically"
fi
fi

to run metro server automatically.

But i noticed that the launch command file has been removed in this PR
#38242
i didn't understand why. but can i run the metro server without this?

Steps to reproduce

1- generate project with latest RN
2- try to run from xcode directly
3- metro doesn't show up

                  Description

                  I used to run the react native directly on Xcode
                  having this in my build phases:

                  export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}"
                  echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env"
                  if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then
                  if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then
                  if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then
                  echo "Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly"
                  exit 2
                  fi
                  else
                  open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command" || echo "Can't start packager automatically"
                  fi
                  fi
                  

                  to run metro server automatically.

                  But i noticed that the launch command file has been removed in this PR
                  #38242
                  i didn't understand why. but can i run the metro server without this?

                  Steps to reproduce

                  1- generate project with latest RN
                  2- try to run from xcode directly
                  3- metro doesn't show up

                          Description

                          I used to run the react native directly on Xcode
                          having this in my build phases:

                          export RCT_METRO_PORT="${RCT_METRO_PORT:=8081}"
                          echo "export RCT_METRO_PORT=${RCT_METRO_PORT}" > "${SRCROOT}/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/.packager.env"
                          if [ -z "${RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER+xxx}" ] ; then
                          if nc -w 5 -z localhost ${RCT_METRO_PORT} ; then
                          if ! curl -s "http://localhost:${RCT_METRO_PORT}/status" | grep -q "packager-status:running" ; then
                          echo "Port ${RCT_METRO_PORT} already in use, packager is either not running or not running correctly"
                          exit 2
                          fi
                          else
                          open "$SRCROOT/../node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command" || echo "Can't start packager automatically"
                          fi
                          fi
                          

                          to run metro server automatically.

                          But i noticed that the launch command file has been removed in this PR
                          #38242
                          i didn't understand why. but can i run the metro server without this?

                          Steps to reproduce

                          1- generate project with latest RN
                          2- try to run from xcode directly
                          3- metro doesn't show up
