Courses Plus Student 2,670 PointsNew project not showing index.ios.js or index.android.js.. only index.js.
Trying to create my own project in Atom in the same fashion as TipCalculator. I can see an index.js file, but no index.ios.js. I found a possible solution online -- npm start -- --reset-cache. Re-opening the folder didn't show any changes.
Suggestions??
(any way to upload screenshots?)

The current iterations of Create React Native App stick with a single index for both OS's unless you have good reason to split it. It also now runs the app on devices through a player/emulator called Expo instead of compiling separate apps for Android/iOS.

Courses Plus Student 2,670 PointsHi Seth,
Create React Native App. Based on a quick search looks like I am not ejecting. Am just attempting to start playing around via Atom and the Simulator. Just getting off the ground with all this, so I'm probably missing something basic. Also could be a difference in my version, have noticed other discrepancies bt what shows on my screen and what is on the treehouse vids. Wish I could upload a screenshot.. Can I create my own folder called index.ios.js? Or just use index.js? Thanks for your response!

Courses Plus Student 2,670 PointsGreat, thank you. Just getting acquainted with Expo as well. More questions to come I'm sure.

56,413 PointsA little more detail please. React Native, yes? What toolchain are you using to create the project? CLI Tools or Create React Native App? If it's the latter, are you "ejecting" it from the start or leaving it as is? Have you attempted to build and run the app?
