No iOS or Android folder after creating a app with create-react-native-app

Please make our job easier by filling this template out to completion. If you’re requesting a feature instead of reporting a bug, please feel free to skip the Environment and Reproducible Demo sections.

Description

Using create-react-native-app to create application, but I can’t find iOS or Android related folders in created application folder.

Expected Behavior

In my memory, they should be created since this is a react native app not a web app.

What action did you perform, and what did you expect to happen?

sudo npm install -g create-react-native-app
create-react-native-app my-app

Observed Behavior

In my-app folder, I only can see the below folders:

App.js App.test.js README.md app.json node_modules package.json

What actually happened when you performed the above actions?

If there’s an error message, please paste the full terminal output and error message in this code block:

Error text goes here!

Environment

Please run these commands in the project folder and fill in their results:

• npm ls react-native-scripts: react-native-scripts@0.0.50
• npm ls react-native: react-native@0.45.1
• npm ls expo: expo@18.0.9
• node -v: v6.9.2
• npm -v: 4.6.1
• yarn --version: Not installed
• watchman version: “version”: “4.7.0”

Also specify:

1. Operating system: MacOS 10.12
2. Phone/emulator/simulator & version: IPhone 6 simulator

Reproducible Demo

Is it normal? I can’t make sure since I remember the iOS and android folder will be generated together. If I’m wrong, please correct! Thanks a lot!
