title: How can I regenerate ios folder in React Native project?
body: <p>So a while ago I deleted the /ios directory in my react native app (let's call it X). I've been developing and testing using the android emulator but now I'd like to make sure it works on ios with xcode simulator etc. </p>
  
  <p>So my current idea is to create a new react native bare project (let's call it Y) with ios folder, then follow <a href="http://blog.tylerbuchea.com/renaming-a-react-native-project/" rel="noreferrer">these steps</a> to rename Y so that it has the name of X and then moving the /ios directory from Y into X and trying to <code>run-ios</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I'll update here how that goes, but I wondered if there is a better way and has nobody been in this situation before?</p>
  
  <p>I've googled lots of things 'regenerate ios folder' 'deleted ios folder' 'add ios folder to existing..' and nothing helpful. Maybe my googlefu isn't good enough but if anyone has any suggestions, much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Step 2 will be making sure it compiles because of dependencies and stuff but for now my goal is to just get the /ios folder back in the project and for React Native to be aware of it's existence (it has all the necessary config).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
