Issue

When I run react-native run-android I get

/home/yenda/status-react/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/util/findSymlinkedModules.js:37
ignoredRoots? = [])
            ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ?

Removing the ? fixes it. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/local-cli/util/findSymlinkedModules.js#L37
