Unable to install react native application on my iOS device

Question

I have built a React Native app on Mac OS. I can build the app on device, but when I eject the cable, the app is disappeared. I want this app to stay in my phone permanently but it doesn't.

Answer 1

You need to create a production build of your app to make it "stay".

1. Visit this link https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device

2. Select iOS & Mac OS

3. Scroll down to 3. Build app for release and follow the instructions there.

You can then use the release file to install the app permanently on your device.

Answer 2

For me, I had the previous version of the app still running in the background when trying to install. I quit the app in the background and the installation succeeded.
