The problem
When I run react-native in Simulator it works fine. I am now trying to run it on my iPhone directly connected to my MacBook but issues are coming up. There are several warnings that say the Deployment Target is set to 7.0.
Where exactly is this being set? IS it being set in the libraries that I am using? How do I get around this?
Similar information I have found that do not seem to be duplicates of this issue include:
- People having issues with the simulator (the simulator is working fine for me)
- Suggestions for people to use the Legacy Build system in XCode (which others are saying is not a good idea).
So, what exactly is causing this issue and what do I do to fix it so that I can run the app on my physical iPhone device?
The error messages:

The issue?
It seems that React Native is only supporting a deployment target of 7.0. However, the newer version of XCode no longer has 7.0 as a target option. The lowest target in new versions of XCode is 8.0.
Legacy Build?
Some of the issues I see say I can use Legacy Build instead. However, I am wondering if this is will cause any other issues.
