React packager fails on first build

[paulbutcher]

I'm very much a React Native n00b, so forgive me if I'm missing anything here. I'm running through the instructions at https://github.com/drapanjanas/re-natal#creating-a-new-project and I get a React packager error on running react-native run-ios:

React packager ready.

 ERROR  ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/Users/paul/Personal/rota-app/ios/build/Build/Intermediates/React.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/React.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/RCTBridge.o-6b373b5c'

This only happens the first time I run react-native run-ios. All subsequent invocations work fine.

I've confirmed that deleting the project and re-creating with re-natal init RotaApp results in this error the first time I run react-native run-ios.

Am I missing anything?

@paulbutcher pretty sure this is a react-native problem not a re-natal one facebook/react-native#11293
