On 7/9/20 MWN sez: In case this turns out to be useful... I couldn't get the build to work on iOS until

• upgraded Ruby using brew (brew install/upgrade ruby)
• changed my PATH to point to brew's installation of ruby rather than the system default (echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/mwnewman/.bash_profile; source ~/.bash_profile)
• updated/installed cocoapods (sudo gem install cocoapods)
• updated the pod repo (pod repo update -- not 100% sure this was necessary but can't hurt)
• installed the pods (pod install), which took a very long time

I also had to fix a lot of ownership and permissions problems along the way, but this is probably because my dev environment is a hot mess.

I was only able to get the app to build and run (in a simulator) by starting the development server using react-native start instead of expo start. The latter starts the Metro bundler on port 19001, whereas XCode is looking for the packaging server on port 8081. react-native start uses the expected port.
