My iOS app builds fine from Xcode, but when I download the app through TestFlight and launch it on my iPhone, I get “Waiting for Figwheel to load files.” on an otherwise blank app screen forever

in (re-natal). not sure about boot-react-native

@misha thanks - no I haven’t done that, will give it a go now

it might be easier (and maybe even equivalent to testflight) to test on real device through xcode first

I tried testing it through xcode on my device a number of times, but couldn’t get it to work

I was hoping that testflight might fix that!

you need to use device, if you are using re-natal. and restart/re-package stuff.

and/or https://github.com/drapanjanas/re-natal#prod-build

thank you - will try that
