Installation

Requirements

Node 10 or greater is required. Development for iOS requires a Mac and Xcode 9.4 or up, and will target iOS 9 and up.

You also need to install the dependencies required by React Native:

• for Android development
• for iOS development

Using the boilerplate

To create a new project using the boilerplate simply run :

npx react-native init MyApp --template @vahesaroyan/react-native-boilerplate

Running the project

Assuming you have all the requirements installed, you can setup and run the project by running:

• yarn install to install the dependencies
• run the following steps for your platform

Android

• only the first time you run the project, you need to generate a debug key with:
  • cd android/app
  • keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -alias androiddebugkey -keypass android -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
  • cd ../.. to come back to the root folder
• yarn start to start the metro bundler, in a dedicated terminal
• yarn android to run the Android application (remember to start a simulator or connect an Android phone)

iOS

• cd ios
• pod install to install pod dependencies
• cd .. to come back to the root folder
• yarn start to start the metro bundler, in a dedicated terminal
• yarn ios to run the iOS application (remember to start a simulator or connect an iPhone phone)
