Setting Up React Native Environment with Cursor

Discussion
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use Cursor to develop a React Native application for both iOS and Android platforms, but I’m running into environment setup issues.

What I’ve tried:

  • Attempted setup with Expo
  • Tried using React Native CLI

Current Error:

When running the installation in the iOS directory, I’m getting a checksum verification error with the Boost dependency:

Installing React-perflogger (0.72.3)
Installing React-rncore (0.72.3)
Installing React-runtimeexecutor (0.72.3)
Installing React-runtimescheduler (0.72.3)
Installing React-utils (0.72.3)
Installing ReactCommon (0.72.3)
Installing SocketRocket (0.6.1)
Installing Yoga (1.14.0)
Installing boost (1.76.0)
[!] Error installing boost
Verification checksum was incorrect, expected f0397ba6e982c4450f27bf32a2a83292aba035b827a5623a14636ea583318c41, got 79e6d3f986444e5a80afbeccdaf2d1c1cf964baa8d766d20859d653a16c39848

Has anyone encountered this issue before? I’d appreciate any suggestions for Cursor-specific rules or tips to resolve this dependency problem.

Thanks in advance for your help!
