Make sure you kill the package manager completely, then try running these in your projects root directory:

npm start -- --reset-cache
react-native run-ios

If you use watchman, this is an alternative set of steps beforehand that seems to work with a lot of people:

watchman watch-del-all
rm -rf node_modules && npm install
npm start -- --reset-cache
react-native run-ios
