+## Screen orientation lock
+
+Unless supporting both, it is considered good practice to lock the screen orientation to either portrait or landscape. On iOS, in the General tab and Deployment Info section of Xcode enable the Device Orientation you want to support (ensure you have selected iPhone from the Devices menu when making the changes). For Android, open the AndroidManifest.xml file and within the activity element add 'android:screenOrientation=”portrait”' to lock to portrait or 'android:screenOrientation=”landscape”' to lock to landscape.

-### 3. Build app for release
+### 3. Configure app to use static bundle
+
+During the development process, React Native has loaded your JavaScript code dynamically at runtime. For a production build, you want to pre-package the JavaScript bundle and distribute it inside your application. Doing this requires a code change in your code so that it knows to load the static bundle.
+
+In `AppDelegate.m`, change the default `jsCodeLocation` to point to the static bundle that is built in Release.
+
+```objc
+  jsCodeLocation = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"main" withExtension:@"jsbundle"];
+```
+
+This will now reference the `main.jsbundle` resource file that is created during the `Bundle React Native code and images` Build Phase in Xcode.
+
+> Note: The static bundle is built every time you target a physical device, even in Debug. If you want to save time, turn off bundle generation in Debug by adding the following to your shell script in the Xcode Build Phase `Bundle React Native code and images`:
+
+```shell
+ if [ "${CONFIGURATION}" == "Debug" ]; then
+  export SKIP_BUNDLING=true
+ fi
+```
+
+#### Pro Tip
+
+As your App Bundle grows in size, you may start to see a white screen flash between your splash screen and the display of your root application view. If this is the case, you can add the following code to `AppDelegate.m` in order to keep your splash screen displayed during the transition.
+
+```objc
+  // Place this code after "[self.window makeKeyAndVisible]" and before "return YES;"
+  UIView* launchScreenView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"LaunchScreen" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
+  launchScreenView.frame = self.window.bounds;
+  rootView.loadingView = launchScreenView;
+```
+
+### 4. Build app for release
 
 You can now build your app for release by tapping `⌘B` or selecting **Product** → **Build** from the menu bar. Once built for release, you'll be able to distribute the app to beta testers and submit the app to the App Store.
