Getting Started

If you're only developing for one platform you can ignore the steps below that are tagged with the platform you don't require.

1) Clone & Install Dependencies

• 1.1) git clone https://github.com/natuanorg/react-native-starter-kit.git
• 1.2) cd react-native-starter-kit - cd into your newly created project directory.
• 1.3) Install NPM packages with your package manager of choice - i.e run yarn or npm install
• 1.4) [iOS] cd ios and run pod install - if you don't have CocoaPods you can follow these instructions to install it.
• 1.5) [Android] No additional steps for android here.

2) Rename Project

You will need to be running Node verison 7.6 or greater for the rename functionality to work

• 2.0) [iOS] cd .. to return to the root directory of the project
• 2.1) yarn rename - you'll be prompted to enter a project name and company name
• 2.2) Note down the package name value - you'll need this when setting up your Firebase project

3) Add Google Services files (plist & JSON) - Optional

• 3.1) [iOS] Follow the add firebase to your app instructions here to generate your GoogleService-Info.plist file if you haven't done so already - use the package name generated previously as your iOS bundle ID.
• 3.2) [iOS] Place this file in the ios/ directory of your project.
• 3.3) [Android] Follow the manually add firebase to your app instructions here to generate your google-services.json file if you haven't done so already - use the package name generated previously as your Android package name.
• 3.4) [Android] Place this file in the android/app/ directory of your project.

4) Start your app

• 4.1) Start the react native packager, run yarn start from the root of your project.
• 4.2) [iOS] Build and run the iOS app, run yarn ios from the root of your project. The first build will take some time. This will automatically start up a simulator also for you on a successful build if one wasn't already started.
• 4.3) [Android] If you haven't already got an android device attached/emulator running then you'll need to get one running (make sure the emulator is with Google Play / APIs). When ready run yarn android from the root of your project.
