• You can run your project by opening projectName.xcworkspace with XCode or react-native run-ios

  The pods folder shouldn't show up in the git diffs

2. Add your first Pod (~2min)

• Open the Podfile

  • Add pod '<POD_NAME>', '~> <Version>' inside the target

• Run bundle exec pod install

Checks:
