Question

ReactNative fails to deploy build to iOS simulator but does deploy it to Android emulator

Attached are screenshots showing this on both.

Steps:

1. Created react native app

   react-native init proto

2. Run app on Android emulator after I started emulator

   react-native run-android

this is running fine on Android emulator

3. Run app on iOS simmulator

   react-native run-ios

This produces error as per screenshot
