-For iOS, remember to install CocoaPods dependencies (this only needs to be run on first clone or after updating native deps).
-
-The first time you create a new project, run the Ruby bundler to install CocoaPods itself:
-
-```sh
-bundle install
-```
-
-Then, and every time you update your native dependencies, run:
-
-```sh
-bundle exec pod install

-For more information, please visit [CocoaPods Getting Started guide](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html).
+Run:
 
 ```sh
 bun run ios
 ```
 
+If you get an error, you may need to have the simulator be open/running first.

 If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in the Android Emulator, iOS Simulator, or your connected device.
 
 This is one way to run your app — you can also build it directly from Android Studio or Xcode.
