Modify theta-client React Native Demo for iOS
This article follows the excellent tutorial by @shegz101 to modify the theta-client React Native Demo. The tutorial by @shegz101 uses a fake RICOH API and is developed for Android. I ran the React Native Demo on iOS and connected to a THETA X with WiFi connection.
Testing Environment
- THETA X firmware version 2.51.0
- MacOS version Sonoma 14.6
- iOS version 17.5.1
- XCode version 15.4
- theta-client version 1.10
react native ‘no bundle URL present error’
When trying to build the iOS application on the simulator, I received an error in a red screen stating that there was a missing .jsbundle file. I followed this solution which solved the issue.
cdintoproject/ios- remove the build folder with
rm -r build - run
yarn react-native run-iosto recreate the build folder

Additional Challenges
pod install
After running any command that starts with yarn add, run cd ios and pod install. Some of these commands are yarn add react-native-paper or yarn add react-native-vector-icons. You may need to rerun the iOS demo with yarn ios ---udid 'device id #'.
update tsconfig.json file
On my code editor, some of the syntax in the .tsx files had red underlining. In order to update the compiler, I edited the tsconfig.json file. Below is the updated file.
