Suggestion: yarn start should be included as a start script #1111
Description
With RN, I always only use yarn start to start the metro bundler, and go to XCode and go to Product / Perform Action / Run without building. This saves 1-2 minutes of build time that yarn run:ios does.
You should include a normal yarn start script by default (generated by using create-xp-app), to make it more familiar to RN devs switching to RN-XP :)
I guess yarn run rn-cli start is the same, but still..

I’m not sure this should be recommended, it’s an optimization but for me anyway it breaks ios9 (which must have a bundle in place / cannot use the dev server) if it were enabled by default. For people that want performance you should set the environment variable SKIP_BUNDLING to achieve the performance boost while still maintaining a “works everywhere” default stance react/react-native#14731

You're welcome to create any scripts you'd like within your own projects. I don't think it makes sense to add this to the reactxp sample apps.

Didn't know it broke ios9 :D And haven't seen SKIP_BUNDLING before. Thanks guys.
