Inizia con il riproduttore collegato e la migrazione di AppDelegate.swift, quindi confrontala con i file rimossi AppDelegate.mm, main.m e AppDelegate.h. Compila il progetto tramite Xcode e traccia il motivo per cui il file Swift viene analizzato come un altro tipo di sorgente; l'attività è completata quando il progetto React Native 0.78 viene compilato senza gli errori segnalati.
