Hey @simon007-aws, thank you for reaching out. Noticed the missing instruction on the sandbox application, we will need to create the react native and then add it to the index.js file. I have reached out to the engineering team on this.

We can utilize the following documentation providing information on installing the Amplify CLI using NPM or curl and also creating the react native application.
