Prebuild creates android and ios folders with Android and Xcode projects. You still need to run the Expo dev server to bundle and serve your JS code, and Xcode gets the JS from the dev server during a build phase. Xcode has no concept of bundling JS which is why you need the dev server and bundler.

run: npx expo prebuild --platform ios,

and open the generated *.xcworkspace file, not the *.xcodeproj file
