Description
Hi Metro team 👋
I’m opening this new issue because I’m still experiencing the same bug as in #1599, but the original reporter is not active anymore and comments are closed.
Summary
In a monorepo (Yarn workspaces), iOS fails to load static images imported via require(...) when the image file is located outside the app directory.
The behavior is identical to #1599:
- The image silently fails to display on iOS

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported setup: a Metro monorepo using Yarn workspaces, with an image required from outside the app directory on iOS. Compare the behavior with issue #1599. Done means the static image loads correctly in that setup instead of silently failing.
