"Rocket.Chat.Electron" and "Rocket.Chat.React Native"

[yoshida-git-ai]

We build and operate a company internal chat system at Rocket.Chat.Electron.

Recently I have a request to do it on Android

I'm thinking of building Rocket.Chat.ReactNative.

How does the existing Rocket.Chat.Electron (PC) and Rocket.Chat.ReactNative (mobile) work together?

First of all, what I want to know is that it is possible to cooperate with any of Rocket.Chat.ReactNative settings?

Or do I need to modify the Rocket.Chat.React Native code quite a lot?

In other words

Do we need to start the server just for mobile applications?

Android studio starts on Windows and edits to create an APK.

Need to build a server such as Linux?
Or connect to Rocket.Chat.Electron's server?

I would like to know the overall overview.

The same server you use for the desktop you can use for the react native app.
You don't need to make any changes.

You'll need to change a few things if you wanted to make your own app (with the company's identity, a whitelabel).
However, if it is not necessary, you can tell the staff to download the rocket.chat app directly from the playstore and connect to your server.

Thanks for your advice

Rocket.Chat.Electron (PC) will continue to operate.

First of all, I'm trying to build Rocket.Chat.ReactNative (mobile) by default.
Now I have successfully started Metro on Windows.

Settings for connecting to Rocket.Chat.Electron (PC)

(Include whitelist? In configuration files, etc.)
And does that mean I can work together if I build Rocket.Chat.ReactNative (mobile)?
