i am new in react-native, actually i am trying to add icon and splashscreen — pallavi khedle, Oct 30 '19 at 08:01
Did you create the app using expo? Cause react-native eject got removed in latest versions. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56968147/react-native-eject-not-working-for-react-native-0-60-0 — Auticcat, Oct 30 '19 at 08:03

You can init a new project that's named the same in another folder and copy ios dir over:

inside YourProjectName directory

npx react-native init YourProjectName
mv YourProjectName/ios ios
rm -rf YourProjectName

Make sure you have clean git history before doing so, in case you need to revert

To Regenerate ios and android folder in React Native project?

1.If you are using react-native <=0.59.0 Then react-native eject

React-native had this command in the previous version. Running this command will check if the ios and android directories exist and then rebuild whichever one is missing.

sudo rm -rf android/ ios/

react-native eject // Will create new Android and IOS folder.

react-native link

react-native run-android

2.If you are using react-native >=0.60.0 Then react-native upgrade --legacy true

Now you should use the react-native upgrade --legacy true command to back up your android folders or ios as the case may be as this command will replace your files.

OP already tried to use `react-native upgrade --legacy true` but gets the error `react-native upgrade --legacy true error: unknown option `--legacy'` — Simon, Jan 10 '20 at 15:39
