I added a new project which is React Native. I want to run it as a node project (even though it’s iOS), but its defaulting to an iOS build.

```auto
machine:
  node:
    version: 5.9.0

```

This seems to be playing up again. Just added a new project and although I tell it it’s not an OSX build it won’t build it.

I’ve set build OSX project as ‘off’ under build environment.
