• "Vanilla" use the @react-native-community/cli

  react-native-builder-bob/packages/create-react-native-library/src/exampleApp/generateExampleApp.ts

  Lines 83 to 97 in 9c5638a

  	// `npx @react-native-community/cli init <projectName> --directory example --skip-install`
  	const vanillaArgs = [
  	`@react-native-community/cli`,
  	'init',
  	`${project.name}Example`,
  	'--package-name',
  	`${project.package}.example`,
  	'--directory',
  	directory,
  	'--version',
  	reactNativeVersion,
  	'--skip-install',
  	'--pm',
  	'npm',
  	];

• and "Test app" use the react-native-test-app package

  react-native-builder-bob/packages/create-react-native-library/src/exampleApp/generateExampleApp.ts

  Lines 65 to 81 in 9c5638a

  	// `npx --package react-native-test-app@latest init --name ${projectName}Example --destination example --version ${reactNativeVersion}`
  	const testAppArgs = [
  	'--package',
  	`react-native-test-app@latest`,
  	'init',
  	'--name',
  	`${project.name}Example`,
  	`--destination`,
  	directory,
  	...(reactNativeVersion !== 'latest'
  	? ['--version', reactNativeVersion]
  	: []),
  	'--platform',
  	'ios',
  	'--platform',
  	'android',
  	];
