react-native run-ios TypeError：无效的数据

Question

I'm trying to run react-native on my machine. I'm using elementaryOS which is based on Ubuntu 14.04. I create base app with

react-native init hello_world

then I try to run this as ios app:

react-native run-ios

this returns me following error:

mateusz@mateusz-L702X:~/hello_world $ react-native run-ios
Found Xcode project hello_world.xcodeproj
/home/mateusz/hello_world/node_modules/promise/lib/done.js:10
      throw err;
      ^

TypeError: invalid data

How can I fix that?

You can build react-native iOS app in Mac only. Using Linux you will not be able to build iOS. Mostly error is related to that.
