Unable to get app to run using simulator

[andersr]

Hi - I followed the instructions and attempted to run the app locally using the command react-native run-ios

The result was:

1. The simulator opens, briefly displays the "RN App" message, and then displays a loading spinner.
2. The terminal displays a build log concluding with the following message:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **


The following commands produced analyzer issues:
    Analyze Modules/RCTUIManager.m
(1 command with analyzer issues)
Installing build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/RNApp.app
Launching org.reactjs.native.example.RNApp
org.reactjs.native.example.RNApp: 37986

1. The "packager log" is displaying the following message:

I then attempted to run the app using the command npm run ios but this had the same result.

Pls let me know if I can provide any additional log information to help debug this.

Your meteor app is not running that's why.
First make sure you have meteor installed. http://meteor.com.
Then go to the MeteorApp folder with your terminal and type meteor and press enter. Don't close this terminal window.

It wasn't clear to me that I needed to first fire up Meteor. Added a PR to update the ReadMe.
