Reproducer project itself is broken

[gaearon]

Description

RN suggests to use the reproducer project to submit bug reports. Unfortunately the reproducer project itself is broken.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the reproducer project https://github.com/react-native-community/reproducer-react-native
2. Follow the instructions in its README to run it

Expected: it runs
Actual: it doesn't

It appears that running pod install in ios folder fixes it. Maybe this should be in the README, or maybe this can be automated somehow. I'm not sure what the right fix is.

The bot is trying to convince me that I did not add a repro but I definitely did — it's the reproducer project itself.

@gaearon That's because for spam protection we check if you have added a public repro under your username.

Fair enough, that's quite a corner case! I find these bots pretty aggressive but with the volume of issues it's understandable.
