I tried running the https://github.com/aiba/helix-react-native-nav, and all went well until the final make-ios step:

/Users/kennethtilton/inonit/cantavi/songpark-gui/helix-nav/react-native/ios/Pods/Pods.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 14.5.99. (in target 'boost-for-react-native' from project 'Pods')
